Excerpt:
A former Melbourne imam has been found guilty of marrying a 14-year-old girl to a man 20 years older, after a magistrate found the evidence against the cleric was "compelling".
Ibrahim Omerdic, 62, was on Thursday found to have married the girl to the man, 34, at a Bosnian mosque in Noble Park on September 29 last year.
The charge of taking part in a forced marriage carries a maximum jail term of seven years.
Omerdic fought the charge in a contested hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court last month.
