The judge’s wife in her statement also said the girl was living in the servant quarter of the house. However, there's no worse danger than telling a mother her baby is ugly... before the Supreme Court, Mohammad Azam, the father of Taiba, 10, testified that he had received Rs18,000 from a woman who provided his minor daughter as a maid to the ADSJ on August 14, 2014, against Rs3,000 per month. Denying all the charges of torture, the judge and his wife in their statements said a few neighbours allegedly hatched a conspiracy against them.
