A Melbourne Muslim leader and another man have been charged over the alleged forced marriage of a child last year.
Imam Ibrahim Omerdic, 61, is charged with conduct that caused a minor to enter into a forced marriage at Noble Park on September 29.
Springvale man Mohammad Shakir, 34, is charged with sexual penetration of a child under the age of 16 and being a party to a forced marriage.
Both men appeared at the Melbourne Magistrates court today.
The court was told a DVD of the ceremony being conducted at a mosque may form part of the evidence during the trials.
The case was adjourned until February 3.
Mr Omerdic’s bail was continued while Mr Shakir remains in custody.
