NOT VERIFIED: Pakistan Catholics protest after abduction, forced marriage of 13 year-old Catholic girl

[PakFactor]

Its always a young non muslim girl ,whether 13 0r 16 , who suddenly disappears and then appears after conversion, professing her love for a Muslim guy , double her age. The relatives protesting, the courts intervening but ruling in favor of the marriage due to evidence and now to the next case.
Never heard of a muslim girl ever falling in love with a non Muslim guy living nearby and getting married ? Not a single case.
With just 2% minority population in Pakistan, is their some fascination for non Muslim women or is it the usual preying on the weak in a lawless country ?
And kudos on the "Richard Harris " tweets. Very credible.

Their are reports and cases in India where BJP and associated groups are force converting people against their wills especially Muslims. To try and pounce on Pakistan is like throwing a stone at ones own glass house.

Their are credible reasons why non Muslim girls would marry a Muslim man. He cleans himself 5 times a day, elimination of cast system non sense and Muslims are equal among each other, just have to focus on one God.

Why a Muslim Girl not covert to Hinduism? Who would want to get out of a clean environment and end up rubbing cow manure on themselves? And drink cow piss.

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Maybe people who support this narrative should just bribe the next judge. Easiest and only way to justice in Pakistan.

Hahahaha. Put the money where their mouth is. So to speak!

Never heard of a muslim girl ever falling in love with a non Muslim guy living nearby and getting married ? Not a single case.

Agreed. Exactly like how in India it's always the Muslim with a penchant for sizzling steak who get's "beef lynched". Same evil packaged differantly?

 

[Irfan Baloch]

What ugly courts decisions.
I hope someone kidnap children of those judges and... if this is the only way to change them.

May Allah help our minorities.

I think there was a thread few days ago about paediphilic french First Lady.

Macron has forgotten parts of French history ...... conveniently

Macron was 15 years old when he started having a sexual relationship with his 42 year old teacher. She was of course married with 3 kids. When her husband and school found out - she was moved to Tania school in the same city and little Macron was transferred 170 km away from the original city...

Seems it’s the norm in Pakistan

sindh is goverñed by a proressive secular party which is very vocal against fundamentalists
yet it has offered no support to people that fall victim to such crimes.

 

[LeGenD]

Well there is another circus of media efforts to defame pakistan in front of international community. Her twiter face doesnt look a 13 years old kid . Birth certificate can be easily made with kick backs and i can become easily from 50 years to 20 years old .

UPDATE

Sindh govt will approach courts to review underage Christian girl marriage case: Bilawal

The PPP leader's statement comes a day after 3 policemen who allegedly abducted 13-year-old Arzoo were granted bail.

"An 18-year-old boy named Rahul was beaten to death in Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar by Mohammad Afroz, Mohammad Raj and three others over an alleged love affair with a Muslim girl."
The incident with Rahul is an eerie reminder of the fate that befell upon another unfortunate young man, Ankit Saxena, who was killed by her Muslim girlfriend’s family because they did not approve their relationship. Ankit was stabbed to death by the family members of his girlfriend Shehzadi on February 1, 2018."

India is a equal opportunity society for criminal acts. The cases will drag through the court systems.
But never heard of regular kidnapping of minority kids for marriage to Hindus.

And the beef reference is more comparable to the offense to religous feelings like the cartoon controversy. I am sure you justify the killings in France as the muslims have been insulted ? So support the Hindus angry for their beliefs ?
I personally have had beef both in India and abroad, i am not a believer.

It can never be justified after force abduction and marriage to 13-year old girl by 44 years old man.

It is too bad and sad...

Unsubstantiated claims need to be investigated until the truth is found.

How old is she? Was she kidnapped? Did she actual consent to marriage? Did the marriage happen in public and was it recorded as a legal marriage?

we don’t know what the truth is until the police investigates, looks up the birth records of the girl, looks up marriage records, interviews the accused and the girl separately. Gets statements from the girls family.

No one here is justifying this story, we just want to find out the truth. Remember that the accused is innocent until proven guilty.

 

[nahtanbob]

Enforcing the law should be the minimum responsibility of the government. If the girl honestly consented then the marriage should be done in public. The source maybe biased, but it is the responsibility of the government and police to investigate to find out what really happened and enforce the laws on the books.

consent by a 13 year old ?? In USA you are looking at a long sentence in prison. plus you do not have to worry about being **** retentive in prison

 

[Vikki]

Apparently she's 18 years old. She's provided documents to the courts to prove that and even released a video targeting media.

Who knows what the truth is.

Ooh if its true then there is a hope for 45 year olds to have a love relation with 18 year olds in pakistan..they say love is blind and age doesnt matter.
I wish i was in pakistan.
It means this man who was in his 40s started hitting on her even before she was 18....we dont know when exactly..but its clear that they started having relation before the girl was 18..and now that she is 18 the man dared to marry her.
The age difference is too much...he will be 50 when she is is just 23..will he be able to satisfy her sexual and emotional needs?
To be honest as long as they are happy,age shouldnt matter but I feel she is too young to make such a big decision.

 

[OldTwilight]

Something seriously wrong with Pakistan society and courts as this is too regular a occurrence. 13 with 44 year old.
And not from some remote village but in the heart of Karachi.
Court allowing legal child abuse on a regular basis.
Shameful.

She was pretty in some sense ( in advance , I like mature woman ) , so they abducated her , and in name of Islam force her to marry lustfull guy so the man can F her as he please ...

when there are some mufti and akhond who always give fatwa to kill , rape , take other heritics women and girld as sex slave ... muslims will stay in this mess ...

CNA Staff, Oct 29, 2020 / 10:15 am MT (CNA).-

Catholics in Pakistan are protesting a judge’s decision not to intervene after a 44-year-old man allegedly kidnapped a 13-year-old Catholic girl, forced her to convert to Islam, and then married her.

According to UCA News, Arzoo Raja, a 13-year-old Catholic from Karachi was kidnapped in broad daylight Oct. 13 by Ali Azhar. Raja’s parents were informed days later by the police that their daughter had converted to Islam and had married Azhar, allegedly of her own free will. Her parents filed a police report.


Two weeks after her abduction, on Oct. 27, the Sindh High Court ruled the marriage was valid and that Azhar would not be arrested.

Technically, child marriage is illegal in Pakistan, but courts typically do not enforce these laws. Sharia Law, which is used in some judicial decisions in Pakistan, permits a child to be married after her first menstrual period.

Approximately 400 people protested the decision at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Karachi, and Christians in other parts of the country protested as well.

Fr. Saleh Diego, vicar general of the Archdiocese of Karachi, condemned the court for ruling without properly investigating the circumstances.

“Whatever happened in the court was shameful and deplorable. It was all lies that the girl was being sent to a shelter home,” said Diego. “The court, without checking or determining Arzoo’s age, ruled in favor of the abductors.”

Documentation proved that Raja was born in 2007 and is 13 years old.

Diego said that someone of Raja’s age cannot decide to accept Islam on her own, as she “still has a lot to learn about her own religion.”

“A 13-year-old cannot decide about her religion. She is an innocent girl whose statement should be declared null and void by the court,” he said.

The vicar general said there was a “disturbing trend” of Catholic girls being forcibly converted to Islam.

“Religious minorities living in Pakistan are concerned about the future of their daughters who are being converted to Islam,” he said. “But why only girls? Are our boys not good enough for religious conversion? Why are they not so easily converted?” he asked.

In February, the Sindh High Court ruled that a “marriage” between a 14-year-old girl who was kidnapped, forced to marry her abductor and convert to Islam was not a violation of the Sindh Child Marriage Restraint Act.

The court found that as the girl had experienced her first menstrual period, the marriage was legal.

Pakistan Catholics protest after abduction, forced marriage of 13 year-old Arzoo Raja

Catholics in Pakistan are protesting a judge’s decision not to intervene after a 44-year-old man allegedly kidnapped a 13-year-old Catholic girl, forced her to convert to Islam, and then married her.

www.catholicnewsagency.com

the provincial level, in 2014 the Sindh Assembly unanimously adopted the Sindh Child Marriage Restraint Act, increasing the minimum age of marriage to 18 years and making child marriage a punishable offence. A proposed similar nationwide bill was unfortunately struck down by Pakistan’s National Assembly in 2014. In Punjab, a Bill introducing harsher penalties for marriage under the age of 16 was also adopted. However, it does not increase the age of marriage to 18.
Whether convert or born Muslim

The laws of Pakistan and Sindh forbid under 18 marriage

So how was it registered
I am doubtful about the news source
The girl is 18
But it's ie case of grooming by a predator
Or straight away abduction and now she is speaking what's given to her because she feels she wouldn't be accepted by her family

Shameful.

It's illegal to marry before 18, i'm not endorsing the sense in law but it exists and practiced.
Unless Pakistan's NADRA is infested by corrupt. and even judiciary is corrupt than underage marriage can't happen.
Considering we voted for 'Riyasat Medina' i don't buy allegations of corruption in NADRA and judiciary.
While the next door marriage suggest there's more to the story, beside what Indians and Iranians are courting here.

Honor killing is not limited to Muslims but is a South Asian issue.

In India the most well-known honor killing was the Manoj and Babli case from 2007. Both were Hindus from Haryana :

Do you honestly think she is 13 Years old she clearly looks to be 18 Years or more. The people pushing that she is 13 years old should check first. On other hand unbiased inquiry should be conducted in this case.

 

[Indos]

Abducting case needs to be investigated since maybe the girl who want to get married with the men and maybe the girl who wants to change religion into Islam voluntarily. And yes as a man I can marry a women (set a side financial capability behind) and capable sexually to have sex with women legally in my 14 years old. Women get matured much earlier of course.

In Indonesia there are several case documented in Youtube where Chinese Indonesian kids converted to Islam before their ages reach 12 years old and their parents allow them to embrace their new religion. Kids also have human right.

 

[Imran Khan]

now where are judges sleeping ? its time to wake up and take action . this must be punished damn .
