Police in the Southern Indian State of Kerala have arrested the mother and stepfather of a teenage girl for allegedly forcing her into the sex trade for two years.
The 13-year old has been rescued and taken to a state-run shelter home. She has told counselors that her parents would solicit customers and force her to have sex with the men.
Mother of the 13-year old told newsmen that she charges 3,000 rupees (£30; $47) from a customer for her daughter. Police said they had identified 25 of the 40 customers who had allegedly paid for sex with the teenager.
Ten others, including a broker, have also been arrested in connection with the case. The 37-year old mother has seven children, the oldest is 24 years old and the youngest is aged four. Her 55-year-old husband worked as a driver and would solicit customers showing the girl’s photograph, police said.
The family lives in a rented house in the town of Kottakal in Malappuram district in the North of the State.
