1000 girls forcefully converted to Islam every year in Pakistan

Op India  

The evil practices of forced conversion of underage girls from religious minorities continue unabated in Pakistan. 1000 girls of religious minorities in Pakistan converted to Islam every year The report suggests that as many as 1000 Christian, Sikh and Hindu women between 12 and 25 years are abducted, raped, married, and forced to convert to Islam. While most of the converted girls are impoverished Hindus from southern Sindh province, two new cases involving Christians, including that of the 13-year-old Christian girl named Arzoo, who was kidnapped, raped and converted to Islam, to her 44-year-old abductor Ali Azhar and 14-year-old Neha who was forcibly converted from Christianity to Islam and married to a 45-year-old man with children twice her age, have roiled the country in recent months. Once converted to Islam, the girls are quickly married off, often to older men or to their abductors, according to the independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan. One activist, Jibran Nasir, called the network a “mafia” that preys on non-Muslim girls because they are the most vulnerable and the easiest targets “for older men with paedophilia urges.” The goal is to secure virginal brides rather than to seek new converts to Islam.
