Bangladesh pop star arrested

One of Bangladesh's most popular singers, James, is to appear in court on Saturday after being arrested following allegations by his new wife's parents that she was under age when they got married in New York last month.

James, whose real name is Faruq Mahfuz Anam, was detained with his bride, Benzir Sajjad, when they flew into Dhaka airport on Wednesday.

The minimum age for marriage is 18 in Bangladesh and Benzir Sajjad's family allege that James abducted her in order to get married.
