Pakistan: Christian women live in fear of rape and forced conversion to Islam


The abduction and forced conversion to Islam of Christian girls who are then married against their will to their captors is a disturbing and growing trend in Pakistan; it is estimated that there are over 700 cases every year, according to theBarnabas Fund - a Christian advocacy group based in the UK.

One of the latest incidents involved a 14-year-old girl, MehekRashid, who was kidnapped at gunpoint from her home inShisharwaliGujranwala, by a gang of five armed Muslim men. One of her abductors yelled that he would purify Mehekby converting her to Islam before marrying her. The local authorities are refusing to investigate the case, apparently because the assailants are from a prominent Muslim family.
It is sadly an all too familiar story in Pakistan, where a senior church leader has warned that the “the cases of forced conversion are rising at an alarming rate”.
In another recent case, a young Christian woman, MariamGill, was abducted on her way home from the market inKahota by a Muslim businessman who had previously asked her to marry him and been refused. She was forcibly converted and married to her kidnapper. His actions were praised by the Muslim leader who conducted the ceremonies as “a pious act”. Read the rest on:
