Saturday, June 21, 2008 22:17 [IST]

Jammu: Two teenaged girls from Pakistan-administered Kashmir entered the Indian territory crossing the Line of Control (LoC) Saturday apparently to escape forced marriages back home, army officials here said.

They said the two girls, in their late teens, approached the Indian troops in Rajouri sector, saying they had come to the Indian side to escape marriages being arranged by their family members. More details were not available.

The officials said the girls, who say they are sisters, would be handed over to the Pakistan Army after questioning.
