(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court in Pakistan has ordered the government to respond to a complaint demanding lower courts stop allowing forced conversion and marriage of minority girls in the predominantly Muslim country. The decision could make way for the country to adopt laws that would protect young girls, says a new report.
In 2021, Pakistani attorney Saif Ul Malook filed a petition with the country’s Supreme Court against Lahore High Court’s (LHC) decision to send then 13-year-old Christian girl Nayab Gill to live with her Muslim “husband”, Morning Star News reports.
Despite her parent’s plea for custody, Nayab was sent to live with 30-year-old Saddam Hayat, who was accused of kidnapping her and forcibly converting her to Islam. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
