Couple sell their daughter`s virginity

Dubai court.

A married couple have been jailed after they forced their 15-year-old daughter to work as a prostitute in Dubai – including selling her virginity for Dhs16,000 (appr.US$4,500)

The father has been sentenced to five years in prison by Dubai Court of First instance, while his wife will serve three years inside.
 The couple, aged 38 and 25, came to Dubai as visitors with their daughter last August. They then forced her for into prostitution, claiming they needed money as they were broke.

In September, Dubai Police received information that the husband and wife wanted to sell their daughter to a pimp. The force sent in an undercover officer posing as a potential buyer. The agent offered to pay Dhs10,000 (appr.US$2,800) for the girl and the father accepted. They arranged for the girl to be handed over at a hotel in Hor Al Anz, where the parents were arrested when they turned up.
The girl later told officers: “They asked me to have sex with strangers as we were poor. Once they took me to a hotel and I had sex with a Pakistani man for Dhs16,000.”
She said the client had paid such a high fee as she was a virgin. The mother confessed that she had also worked as a prostitute at the request of her husband.
Dubai Police also arrested two Pakistani pimps who ran a brothel and helped the Pakistani father to find customers for his daughter. The pimps were jailed for two years.
The Pakistani man who paid Dhs16,000 to sleep with the girl was also arrested and has been jailed for a year. All the defendants will be deported after serving their jail terms.
