If 6 years later means 6 years from now, then Anan's and daughter's respective ages are 28 and 14, but if it's 6 years from 2 years ago, then their ages are 32 and 12.

two years ago
32-2=3*(12-2)
30=30
first requirement met.
Now to interpret six years later
2 years ago plus 6 years later
-2 + 6=4 years from now
32+4=2*(12+4)+4
36=32+4
36=36
both requirements met
Aman is 32 and daughter is 12 now
