Hindu man forcibly converted to Islam in Pakistan's Sindh

New Delhi, Oct 12: A Hindu man was forcibly converted to Islam in Sindh on Sunday. Hindu youth Ajay Kumar r/o Dahraki was forcibly converted to Islam by Jamia Islamia Masjid, Larkana Sindh, Pakistan by Maulana Rashid Mahmood Soomro, General Secretary at Jamiat Ulama-e-Sindh on October 9.

 

 

In the picture of the conversion ceremony, it is clearly visible that the victim does not seem to be happy. Pakistan's dilemma of forced conversions and marriages put minority women at risk and the issue of securing rights for minority women has become particularly complex in Pakistan.

Earlier in August 2021, a young Masih girl named Anita was abducted by a Muslim man "Muhammad Waseem" From Yazman City, Bahawalpur. She said he forcibly converted her to Islam by taking her thumb impression on a paper and forced her to accept him as her husband. He kept the victim in a locked room and repeatedly raped her.

The situation faced by the Hindu and Christian groups in Pakistan is bad in general, but women from these communities are the worst victims of discriminatory attitudes of the authorities, political groups, religious parties, the feudal structure and the Muslim majority.

Abducting for the purpose of forced conversion and marriage is a major issue in Pakistan. Most of the victims are Christian and Hindu girls and young women, forced to wed against their will to much older Muslim men.
