A New South Wales man accused of marrying off his 12 year old daughter under Sharia law has had his bail continued for child sex offences.

The 62-year-old, who cannot be named, is charged with procuring a child for sex and being an accessory before the fact to sexual intercourse with a child.

Wearing a traditional Muslim tunic, he faced Downing Centre District Court where his bail was continued.

He is yet to formally enter a plea and made no comment outside court.

Judge Anthony Blackmore ordered that the man's name no longer be put on court lists - only his initials - to help try to protect the identity of his daughter.

Police said he introduced his daughter to a 26-year-old university student at a mosque and they married in a religious ceremony in the child's Hunter Valley home in January this year.

The 26-year-old man is facing 25 child sex charges and has had his student visa revoked.

The girl and her younger sister are in the care of the Department of Community Services.

Their father will face court again later this month.
