Arti Kumari was abducted while going to a beauty parlor in Pakistan s southern city of Larkana. On April 9, she appeared in a Karachi court with her Muslim husband.
Her Hindu parents were barred from meeting the 22-year-old convert. “We are the indigenous people of this land. We demand to meet our daughter. Give her back. Our daughters are being kidnapped. We want justice. Save her,” said her father. Their video has garnered more than 95,000 views.
