Pakistan: Muslims abduct 15-year-old Christian girl, force her to convert to Islam and marry Muslim

“According to recent estimates, more than a thousand such incidents occur every year, and most of them are not reported.”

Imagine the outcry if a Muslim teenage girl had been forced to convert to Christianity and marry a Christian. But that would not happen and should not happen. This, on the other hand, happens all the time, and gets no media attention. It doesn’t fit the narrative.

“Abducted from her home in Faisalabad, Christian girl forced into marriage,” by Shafique Khokhar, Asia News, July 6, 2022:

Faisalabad (AsiaNews) – A 15-year-old Christian girl, Meerab Palous, was abducted, forced to convert to Islam and marry a Muslim acquaintance in a latest example of a scourge that affects minorities in Pakistan.

On the evening of 22 June, Meerab was at her home in Muzafar Colony, Faisalabad, with a Muslim friend and neighbour, Gulnaz.

When Meerab’s family went to sleep, Gulnaz gave Meerab a glass of water mixed with drugs and sleeping pills. When the Christian girl fell asleep, she called her half-brother Muhammad Asif and they took her away.

Around midnight, when Meerab’s parents realised that their daughter was missing, they began looking for her, going to Gulnaz’s home but had no news until some neighbours told them that they had seen Gulnaz, Muhammad and another person loading her into a car unconscious.

At that point Gulnaz’s family told his father that Meerab must convert to Islam and marry Muhammad Asif.

The parents turned to the police, who refused to register their complaint, taking for granted that the girl had acted of her own free will….

Meanwhile, the perpetrators went before a Faisalabad court submitting a conversion certificate and a marriage certificate dated 23 June, with the false attestation that Meerab married voluntarily.

The parents challenged the document that claimed that girl was 18 years old when in fact she is under age.

Naveed Walter, president of Human Rights Focus Pakistan (HRFP), said this new case highlights the alarming rise in kidnappings, forced conversions and forced marriages….

“According to recent estimates, more than a thousand such incidents occur every year, and most of them are not reported,” he added. “We are with the victim’s family and we will do our best to bring justice to them.”
