A 15-year-old minor Hindu girl from Gaon 78 Mori near Mirpurkhas was reportedly abducted. The girl is forcibly converted to Islam and married to a Muslim man named Ashraf Marri.
This incident comes on the heels of the May murder of another a minor Hindu girl, Paria Bheel, who was raped and killed by influential Pathans in Karachi.
These reports have raised alarms about the safety and rights of religious minorities in Pakistan, particularly young women and girls from the Hindu community.
Reports suggest young Hindu women and girls are increasingly targeted for abduction. Victims often endure horrific experiences, facing sexual violence and coercion in addition to the trauma of forced conversion and marriage.
