Police are investigating the case of an 18-year-old Indian girl suspected of being married to two Maldivians.
Speaking at a press conference last week, Inspector Hamdhoon Rasheed said police learned of the girl when she attempted suicide in Addu atoll.
Investigations revealed that the girl married two Maldivians at the age of 15 in 2007. Both marriages took place in India at the request of her father.
Hamdhoon said she arrived in the country with her second husband on 1 October and the couple would have had difficulties legally registering the marriage in the Maldives.
He added the girl had since been sent back to India.
Police are investigating the case in collaboration with the High Commission in India.
