According to the local media, Kavita Bai was kidnapped by five men from her residence on Monday
Her father claimed that five armed men entered their residence and dragged his daughter to their vehicle and abducted her.
FIR has been filed by the local police in the matter.
Pakistan always raises the issue of minority rights in India but on the other hands never cares about its minorities. In a recent development, a minor girl from the Hindu minority community was abducted, forcibly converted to Islam and married off to the adductor in Pakistan.
Kavita Bai who is believed to be just 13-year-old was allegedly kidnapped by a person from the Bahalkani tribe. She was converted to Islam against her wish by Barelvi cleric Mian Mithoo and later was married off to the abductor.
She was then brought before a cleric who held a public conversion ceremony.
Some old men gathered around her and formed a circle and read some Islamic prayers.
The images are disturbing, to say the least.
Pakistan authorities said that the girl claims to be over 18-years-old and has converted of her own free will.
This is an excuse that we hear over and over and over again.
Every time a minor girl is converted, Pakistan says she did so willfully.
Matter of free will!
In August 2020, a 14-year-old Christian girl Maria Shahbaz was abducted and married in a similar fashion.
A 13-year-old Hindu girl named Kavita Bai was allegedly kidnapped by a man, forcibly converted to Islam and then married off to her abductor in the Kashmore district of Pakistan's Sindh province.
