“A Christian teenager in Pakistan was recently abducted and forcefully converted to Islam. And now her abductors are using the country’s legal system to keep her from returning home.”
Pakistan is a jihad-supporting country that implements Sharia and persecutes Christians. The suffering of women and girls there is mostly ignored by feminists. No one sees placards at the Women’s March pleading on behalf of women living under Sharia oppression.
“An estimated 1,000 women from Pakistan’s Christian and Hindu communities are abducted, raped, and forcefully converted to Islam each year. Pakistan ranks as the fifth worst nation in the world when it comes to Christian persecution.”
“Pakistan: 13-y-o Christian girl abducted, forced to convert to Islam and marry captor,” by Leah MarieAnn Klett, Christian Post, March 6, 2019:
A Christian teenager in Pakistan was recently abducted and forcefully converted to Islam. And now her abductors are using the country’s legal system to keep her from returning home.
The Christian persecution watchdog group International Christian Concern reported that on Feb. 6, 13-year-old Sadaf Masih was abducted by three men identified as Maqbool Hussain, Mubashir Hussain Baloch and Azhir Hussain Baloch.
When Masih’s family became aware of the Christian girl’s abduction, they reached out to the family of the abductors who told them that she would be returned to them.
However, after eight days, the abductors told the Christian family that Masih was married and had converted to Islam. They then showed the family a marriage certificate which falsely claimed she was 18, an age old enough to get legally married in Pakistan.
When her family protested, the abductors threatened them and warned that if they tried to contact the teen, there would be “consequences of the law.”
ICC notes that abductions and forced conversions to Islam are common for religious minorities in Pakistan, as an estimated 1,000 women from Pakistan’s Christian and Hindu communities are abducted, raped, and forcefully converted to Islam each year. Pakistan ranks as the fifth worst nation in the world when it comes to Christian persecution, according to Open Doors USA’s World Watch List.
“Violence against women and girls — including rape, murder through so-called honor killings, acid attacks, domestic violence, and forced marriage — remained routine,” noted a recent Human Rights Watch report on Pakistan.
William Stark, regional manager for South Asia at ICC, commented to CP, “What is most disturbing in many of these cases is how rape is used as a weapon to entrap victims. For many women in Pakistan, securing a good marriage is the only way to secure a good life. When these victimized women are raped, they feel trapped because it takes away their ability to secure a good marriage due to the shame associated with being a rape victim.
“Another disturbing element of forced conversion cases is the issue of custody. When abductors claim a victim has been married to them, especially when the victim is a woman, they maintain custody over their victim. This makes it especially difficult for Christian women who have been abducted, forcefully converted to Islam, and forcefully married to their abductors to provide testimony against their abductors.”
In recent years, numerous reports have emerged of Christian women in Pakistan being abducted, raped and forced to marry their rapists. Oftentimes, the abducted girls are forced to convert to Islam, which makes their subsequent marriages legal under Pakistani law.
Additionally, Muslims who have abducted Christian girls and women and forced them into marriages have often been treated a level of impunity by local authorities.
Last year, a 12-year-old Pakistani Christian girl was abducted and forced to convert to Islam and marry her abductor, according to World Watch Monitor. When her father attempted to seek legal assistance, he was detained by police for “filing false charges” against her captor.
Eventually, the girl was returned home after she was unable to convince the court that she had willingly converted to Islam……..

This is a daily occurrence in Pakistan(the land of the pure – what is so pure in Pakistan?) where Hindu and Christian girls are abducted, converted and married off to a Muslim and after that they can never see their families. The Pakistani kangaroo court won’t allow them to see their families! This is justice in Pakistan!! What a disgusting and criminal country!

It’s utter vileness. This has been going on since the beginnings of Islam; and it doesn’t just go on in Pakistan, today. EXACTLY the same thing is being done in Egypt; Coptic girls and women, both married and unmarried, and often *underaged* (very young teenagers or even preteens) are taken by Muslims, terrorised, raped, sometimes drugged and blackmailed. They are gloatingly paraded as ‘converts’ to Islam. Islam programs humans to become conscienceless predators who *enjoy* doing absolute evil to other human beings. Frankly, it’s a horrible belief system; pure evil, codified.
Jaladhi says
Exactly right! The Coptic Christian girls in Egypt also suffer from the same fate as in Pakistan the Christian and Hindu girls suffer! And the Western elites(political figures, feminists, academics and the Governments) never ever utter a word about it nor do they take any action any Islamic countries(Pakistan and Egypt in particular). Talk about hypocrisy of these groups.
Muslims have followed this utter vile practice since the 7th century!

FORCIBLE CONVERSION is LEGAL in Pornistan …
Mohammed himself FORCIBLY converted disbelievers in some cases by DEATH THREATS.
[Muhammad] said: “Woe to you Abu Sufyan, isn’t it time that you recognize that I am God’s apostle?” [Sufyan] answered, “As to that I still have some doubt.” [Ibn Abbas] said to [Sufyan], “Submit and testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the apostle of God before you lose your head,” so [Sufyan] did so.” – Tabari pt2,pg157; Ibn Kathir ‘Biography of the Prophet’ pt3,pg549
“In November 2015, the Pakistani Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Council of Islamic Ideology opposed a law on “forced conversion”, sparking dismay and protests among Pakistani Hindus and Christians.”
No less than the ‘Pakistani Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Council of Islamic Ideology’ refused to protect vulnerable Hindus and Christians from forcible conversion.

All remaining Christians, Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan should try to move to India as refugees, or else to Western countries if possible. There is no hope, and there are very few human rights for them, in Pakistan. The U.S. in particular should try to welcome those persecuted Pakistani religious minorities.
Frank Riley says
The West in general is fearful of Islam and discriminates in its favor. To allay its guilt in this matter, the governments and media turn on the easy target of Christianity as a therapeutic whipping boy.

Pakistan=Land of terrorist, Westerners should avoid travel to Pakistan, Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan.
Or Else! says
Meanwhile, on Lefty-created “International Women’s Day”, this story registered not a blip. Too busy, no doubt, making plans for “World Hijab Day”…..
