Pakistan: Over 500 Minority Girls Abducted, Forcibly Married; Courts Silent
•A report by 'Voice of Pakistan Minority' (VOPM) reveals over 515 cases of abduction and forced conversion of minority girls in Pakistan between 2021-2025.
•Hindu girls are the primary targets (69%), followed by Christian (31%) and some Sikh girls.
•A shocking 52% of victims are aged 14-18, with 20% being under 14 years old.
•Courts often validate forced marriages based on fraudulent affidavits, claiming willing conversion and marriage, even for minors.
•Minority communities lack influence and resources to fight legal battles, and media attention on these cases quickly fades, emboldening criminals.
