MUMBAI, India – Catholic leaders in Pakistan are demanding the government “Take serious notice” of the kidnapping and forced conversion and marriage of a Christian girl in Karachi earlier this month.
“We cannot allow our children and girls to be taken away from us, forcibly converted and married. A bill against forced conversions was introduced back in 2016 in the Sindh Provincial Assembly which has not been passed yet. The government must work to safeguard the rights of religious minorities in Pakistan as enshrined in our constitution,” Yousaf added.
According to a 2014 report by the Movement for Solidarity and Peace, a human rights NGO, between 100-700 Christian girls are forced to convert and marry a Muslim each year in Pakistan.
