Maputo - A Mozambican man has been jailed for 19 years after he handed over his daughter as a child bride to pay a bar debt of 600 meticais (£6.90; $10), reports Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias. The man who accepted the girl was given the same sentence, the newspaper adds. The article goes on to say an NGO found out about the girl and took her in. The sentence was handed out by a court in Manica, close to the border with Zimbabwe, on 18 April but took a month to come to light, Lusa news agency adds.(FA)
