A court in Pakistan's Punjab province has granted custody to a 13-year -old Christian girl to a Muslim man who has three wives, and who abducted her and forced her to marry him and convert yo Islam, the Christian Post website reports today (July 10, 2021).
Shahid Gill, the Catholic father of the girl, Nayab Gill, pleaded that his daughter was underage and could not legally marry or change her religion on her own, but the Lahore High Court disagreed, giving custody to the Muslim man, 30-year-old Saddam Hayat.
Justice Shahram Sarwar Chaudhry last week rejected the girl's official birth documents showing she was 13, while siding with Hayar who claimed she had converted to Islam on her own free will on May 20.
