Pakistan: Kidnapped minor Hindu girl freed in Balochistan; The marriage was forced

  A minor Hindu girl who was allegedly abducted in Pakistan's Balochistan province has been rescued safely. It is alleged that she was married off to a Muslim landlord after being forcibly converted to Islam.


The girl was rescued from Winder area of ​​Lasbela district on Wednesday and reached her hometown Mirpurkhas on Thursday evening. It is alleged that armed men kidnapped the girl from near her house last month. According to Pakistan Darwar Ittehad, a non-governmental organization (NGO) working for the welfare of the Hindu community, the girl has been freed from the possession of a landlord.

The head of the organization, Shiv Kachhi, said that he had contacted the police to register an FIR against the accused.

"We will hold a large-scale dharna in Mirpurkhas city in early December. We will involve Hindu girls and women to highlight the problem of abduction and forced conversion," he announced.

It may be mentioned that earlier, on Monday, the Sindh High Court allowed two minor Hindu sisters to return to their parents. They were also accused of abducting the two girls and forcibly converting them to Islam and getting them married to Muslim men much older than them.
