Benish Imran was kidnapped by a man who then forced her to embrace Islam. In court, she said she was 19 and had married of her own free will. The association that follows the case complains of dozens of similar episodes.
Lahore (AsiaNews/Agencies) – A 14-year-old Christian girl was recently abducted, forcibly converted to Islam and forced to marry a Muslim man. She then went before a judge and signed a statement in which she claims to have acted of her own free will.
Her father and the Centre for Legal Aid, Assistance and Settlement (CLAAS), an interdenominational organisation that offers free legal support to victims of religious intolerance, went public with the story, saying that the girl’s life has been threatened.
