The Christian girl, Farah Shaheen, and her family have no recourse, as police in Pakistan are sympathetic to the perpetrator rather than the victim when the perp is a Muslim and the victim is a Christian. And the world yawns, because this story doesn’t fit the dominant narrative.
“Pakistan police drop investigation into Muslim man who ‘kidnapped Christian girl, 12, raped her and chained her up for five months’ because she ‘willingly married him,'” by Sophie Tanno and Jack Newman, Mailonline, January 20, 2021:
Pakistan police have dropped an investigation into three Muslim men accused of kidnapping a Christian girl, 12, before abusing her and chaining her up for five months.
Farah Shaheen, now age 13, was abducted from Faisalabad on June 25 and spent over five months in the yard of Muslim man Khizar Hayat, 45, who allegedly raped her.
Police rescued the youngster in Faisalabad on December 5 and found cuts from the shackles on her ankles from where she had been bound and forced to work in the man’s yard all day clearing animal dung.
Authorities dropped the charges against the man after the girl testified she willingly married her abductor.
But her family accuse police of fabricating evidence, ignoring their case, and racially abusing them during the investigation.
Investigators said they had dropped the charges against Hayat after Farah testified that she had agreed to marry him and convert to Islam, according to a report in The Times.
‘Ms Shaheen confessed before a magistrate…that she married…of her own will and wants to live with him,’ investigating officer Musaddiq Riaz told the publication., adding that a police report suggested the girl was aged 16 or 17.
Farah’s birth certificate confirmed her age last June as 12, The Times reported.
The case has been taken up by Christian charities who claim a number of girls are being abducted and forced into marriage in Pakistan.
The girl’s father has dismissed the police report as a fabrication, and claimed that officers ignored his report of Farah’s abduction for months.
He has appealed to Prime Minister Imran Khan for help.
Human rights groups say an estimated 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls are kidnapped each year and forced to convert to Islam.
Aid to the Church in Need said the girl’s family made repeated complaints to the police but they were ignored for months.
Her father said: ‘[She] has told me she was treated like a slave. She was forced to work all day, cleaning filth in a cattle yard. 24-7, she was attached to a chain.’
The family say the girl was abducted on June 12 last year and she was raped multiple times.
Despite making multiple complaints to the police, the father was not able to file an official report until September.
He said police even made racial comments about him and threatened to charge him with blasphemy….

BOYCOTT All MUSLIM COUNTRIES. THEY ARE CESSPOOLS OF HATRED.
Call Imam Pope Francis. He’ll get this whole misunderstanding straightened out.
James Lincoln says
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says,
“Call Imam Pope Francis.”
I’d go even further than that: I’ll just refer to him as “imam Francis.”
Michael Copeland says
Pakistan is a failed state.
Infidel says
Truer words were rarely spoken. In fact, today, one would be safer visiting Somalia or even Yemen than visit Pakistan
mortimer says
The ‘failure’ in the state of Pakistan is ISLAM which precedes failure wherever it goes. Islam creates dysfunctional societies and dysfunctional countries.
There is no version of Islam that produces prosperity, human rights and equality.
Infidel says
Somehow, logic eludes you. By your definition, every muslim country is a failed state, but that’s by no means true of Gulf countries, which are holding their own
James Lincoln says
Infidel,
You are correct – not *all* muslim majority countries are failed states.
I spent some time at the Naval Support Activity Bahrain in the mid-1990s.
Bahrain has an excellent economy and infrastructure. The muslims there tend to be moderate and fairly tolerant. And I would see the Saudis come in every Friday night to hit the bars…
Infidel says
P. McD, I never suggested that those countries are civilized. I just contested Mortimer’s inane idea that they are dysfunctional states at the same level as Somalia or Pakistan. Fact remains that if one is visiting countries like Bahrein, Emirates or Oman, one is likely to be safe, and fine. Otoh, one is playing w/ explosives if one visits a country like Somalia or Pakistan: one can be killed anytime, for any reason, and unless one is a Chicom, nothing will happen
James, agreed. I’ve heard good things about Emirates and Oman as well. While I myself would on principle avoid visiting any muslim country, it’s deceptive to claim that these countries would be as dangerous as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia or Yemen

Infidel–with the greatest respect–the only reason a few of the gulf states are not failed states is because they still have unearned oil wealth. Thid is drying up in many casesm though.
And James–again with great respect–these places are *not* always safe for Infidels:
“Briton: ‘UAE police threatened rape to make me confess'”

I’m afraid there are many other grim stories.
James Lincoln says

“And James–again with great respect–these places are *not* always safe for Infidels…”
That is correct.
During my time in Bahrain, a US Naval Officer was brutally attacked – unprovoked – by a muslim in Manama.
It’s just that an infidel is a lot safer in Bahrain than in, say, Pakistan, Iran, etc.
And the US military presence in Bahrain is a plus for deployed US service members, at least in my personal experience…
Infidel says
Graven, while I wouldn’t ever visit any muslim country on principle, it’s misleading to claim that all of them are failed states. Even excluding the Gulf, other countries like Jordan, Egypt, Morocco are reasonably safe, as are the ‘stans’ – Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan – which still have a residual Russian cultural influence.
Fact remains that there are some that are really at the bottom of the barrel, and where one would take one’s life into one’s own hands – namely Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Libya. They’re not in the same league as, say, Indonesia, Algeria, Morocco or even Saudi Arabia. Yeah, there is crime and corrupt law-enforcement, but the latter group of countries are nowhere near as bad as the first list above
gravenimage says
James and Infidel, you are certainly correct that some stretches of Dar-al-Islam are even worse than others. Like you, I’d rather take my chances in Morocco, Egypt, Indonesia or the Gulf states than Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen, or Pakistan. Damning with faint praise, though…
Johnny B says
This happens everywhere Islam conquers, you can study history and see for yourself. Our politicians are entirely preoccupied with how to stop us from offending Islam, while this phenomenon moves closer and closer to our own backyard. I don’t even have words for them any longer..
DavidR says
Doubtful she will come to love him.
Infidel says
She won’t have to. After she’s produced enough muslim infants to his liking, she can be dumped like trash. Have you ever downloaded and played the online game ‘Game of Sultans’? In that game, the player is the sultan, and has a harem, where after a certain number of games, he gets to pick another beauty of the harem, produce up to 2 kids in her. Once he has his quota of women, he gets to demote the ones whose shine has faded off to the status of a maid. That’s exactly what normal muslims get to do to their wives once they’re sick of them. And then they can marry girls young enough to play w/ their sons.
Barbaric doesn’t even begin to describe this cult!
gravenimage says
Even worse than this, the Ottoman Sultans several times tired of their Harems and simply had the poor women drowned in the Bosphorus–most notably 17th century Sultan Ibrahim, who is reported to have murdered up to 280 women.
Fred van de Bunt says
Hopefully Pakistan is not getting as bad as England with all those rape gangs, where rapists read the Quran while raping their victims.
Ken Johnson says
Slavery, supported by the courts . Is there no limit???
gravenimage says
Not in Dar-al-Islam, Ken.

Pakistan: Cops won’t investigate Muslim, 45, who kidnapped and raped preteen Christian, she ‘willingly married him’
………………….
Just horrifying–this poor girl and her family. But in Pakistan this hardly surprises, and is anything but rare. Christans and other Infidels surviving there should flee to India, which has offered them sanctuary and citizenship.
peter says
Exactly right .India is the only beacon of hope for these poor souls .God bless them ! The greatest day in the human history is the day ,Islam is confined to the dust bin of history . Mohamed and Islam are probably the greatest catastrophes that happened on this good earth . Hopefully their days is numbered .

tim gallagher says
There are so many reports about evil acts such as this in Pakistan here at Jihad Watch. I don’t believe that any Muslim country is any good because any country with a population that believes in and follows the barbaric, disgusting notions that islam contains (there is so much primitive rubbish in Islam) could not possibly be anything but a backward and inhumane place, but Pakistan really does seem to be a particularly appalling country, a real area of darkness.
OLD GUY says
Isn’t that sweet, she married him. Just think that could be your daughter right here in America. Biden’s open border policy to islamic countries will bring these animals to our neighborhoods. The rape of young non-muslim girls and then the forced marriages are prescribed by Muhammad. But that’s only the beginning, Muhammad instructions to muslims tell them to enslave or kill non-muslims and to take their women as sex slaves. Wow what a great ideology to follow. Close our borders to ISLAM – MUSLIMS they will destroy our country and families.
The CONSTITUTION of the United States doesn’t guarantee open borders to any or everyone. It does charge our government with the protection of our citizens. Opening our borders to the muslims migration invasion is a violation of our Constitution and our political leaders responsibilities. Islam is a threat to this country as much as Russia, China, Iran or North Korea.
