The Ghotki sisters, Reena and Raveena, two Hindu girls from Ghotki in Sindh, Pakistan who were allegedly abducted, forcefully converted to Islam and married off have been sent back to their Muslim husbands Safdar Ali and Barkat Ali by the Islamabad High Court.
The decision was taken in the light of an alleged confession by the girls that they had willingly converted to Islam given they were impressed by the Islamic teachings.
Meanwhile, when Justice Minallah asked another member of the commission his views, advocate IA Rahman advised the court of regularising centres where the conversions take place as there are no laws to prevent forced conversions, reports The Tribune.
This case witnessed a huge uproar on Social Media and the case of the girls was also taken up by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
