As per an estimate by the Movement for Solidarity and Peace (MSP), as many as 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls, aged between 12 to 25 years, are abducted annually in Pakistan.
In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the rights of Hindus and other religious minorities are muzzled by the Islamists. In the Muslim majority country, Hindu, Sikh and Christian girls are regularly abducted, forcibly converted to Islam and married off to their Jihadist abductor. These conversions take place with tacit support of the government and courts and all it takes to validate this fraud is a forced ‘confession’ video of the Hindu victims.
There has been a substantial rise in cases of abduction and forced conversion of Hindu and other non-Muslim girls to Islam in the recent years. As per an estimate by the Movement for Solidarity and Peace (MSP), as many as 1,000 Christian and Hindu girls, aged between 12 to 25 years, are abducted annually in Pakistan. In most cases, the police refuse to act against the perpetrators or is found to be helping the Islamists.
MSP’s 2014 study traced numerous cases wherein Hindu and other non-Muslim girls, mostly underage, were kidnapped, subjected to physical and mental torture, forced to convert to Islam, marry their abductor or older Muslim men, and when the victim’s family would approach court, the girls would be threatened with murder of their parents if they testified against her oppressors.
