The judge investigating the case of the 14-year-old girl from Corella (Navarre) who was allegedly sold for marriage considersthat there is sufficient evidence to bring the five investigated to trialfor trafficking in human beings, forced marriage and forcing the minor to beg. 

The minor's parents were arrested in August 2025. Mollerussa (Lleida) was charged with selling her daughter "for 5,000 euros, five bottles of whiskey and basic food" to marry their son, who was found begging by the Civil Guard in a village in Catalonia.

According to the indictment issued by the judge of Tudela, a witness testified that the father oftheyoung  had reported that they intended to sell it for 10,000 euros, but that in the end the agreement was "5,000 euros, five bottles of whiskey and food".

The order also states that the defendants confessed in court that the minor and her alleged husband were a couple and that they were engaged to marry.

In the lawsuit, the judge has also added severalvideo recordings   from the young woman's mother's Instagram account, one of which shows the victim accepting a ring with her alleged husband and another showing the victim's mother large sums of money.

The five defendants must testify before the judge on 9 June and remain on provisional release. The indictment may be appealed to the Navarre Court.
