“A man who “married” a 15-year-old girl in an Islamic wedding ceremony is among eight men to have been found guilty of sexual offences against her.
The victim was groomed and sexually abused by men from the age of 13 and that continued when she was in a Bradford children’s home, a trial heard.
Bradford Crown Court heard Zulqurnean forced the victim to wear Islamic dress and eat a halal diet and stopped her seeing family because they were “non-believers.”
It’s horrendous. There seems to be no shortage of these types of stories. I feel for the victim – what’s shocking & an absolute disgrace is that it seems the wedding was attended by the victims social worker. The institutions that enabled these crimes equally need to be held to account.
Please tell me that this monster was sacked and no longer working with kids?
The BBC understands the victim’s former key social worker Anwar Meah was questioned by police on suspicion of malfeasance in public office, but no further action was taken and he provided no further comment to the BBC.
Which learned cleric was happy to perform a religious ceremony on a vulnerable minor?

There really needs to be a full inquiry into grooming in Bradford. I have friends who moved away because they had daughters – it’s an open secret what’s happening. The scale will be off the charts if it is allowed to happen. It’s no wonder it’s been blocked for so long. I bet are many nervous people who have helped to sweep it under the rug for decades.
A lot more needs to be done to protect kids in care. We know they are more vulnerable and be desperate for some sense of belonging. In a city like Bradford, that is only going to made worse by grooming gangs and where a blind eye continues to be turned to the whole issue. You have a group of people who are already ignored by society put at more risk by a society ignoring a big issue due to fear of being called racist.
