Why the only Christian and Hindu religious minorities’ Girls are victims of abduction and rape in Pakistan? By Mushtaq Gill Advocate
Today I, Sardar Mushtaq Gill HRD Lawyer, head of LEAD, came across a gang rape case of a Christian girl 15 years old namely Maria on social media after being highlighted by one local activist Mubarak Masih. I was made compelled to pen the issue of Christian girls the victims of abduction, rape, forced conversion and forced marriages in Pakistan
According to the contents of FIR No.709/2019 registered at Police Station Feroz Wala District Shiekhupura on dated 15 June 2019 under offence section 376 Pakistan Penal Code against a Muslim man Muhammad Sajid along with his four unknown accomplices on the complaint of victim’s father namely Jalal Masih after passing six days of the occurrence. The complainant says that her daughter was alone at home and said accused came and kidnaped her daughter on gunpoint and he also mentioned that two eye witnesses saw her while she was being kidnaped who told him that his daughter was kidnapped by the said accused. He and his wife went to search at the shop of the said known accused who is running a shop for installments and he was not at his office. They contacted the accused and he was ready to give back victim to his parents. Next day the said accused dropped his daughter at his home and then she disclosed the whole occurrence of gang rape with the victim.
Recently according to the reports say in Pakistan, it has busted a major prostitution ring smuggling Christian girls to China for fake marriages. The Chinese Embassy in Islamabad has issued a statement urging caution against unlawful matchmaking centers involved in these marriages to earn profit. The illegal matchmaking centers lure poor Pakistani girls, especially Christian girls to marry Chinese men who are either visiting or working in Pakistan. They present fake documents of Chinese men showing them either as Christians or Muslims. They then find poor girls mainly from the Christian community to marry them by offering money and promises of ‘good life’. However, many girls reportedly became victims of human trafficking and forced into prostitution.
Reportedly 140 visa applications have been received this year by Chinese nationals seeking visas for their Pakistani brides. Out of the 140 visas applications received, only 50 visas have been granted. According to media reports, China’s Deputy Chief of Mission in Pakistan, Lijian Zhao, said that 140 applications have been received this year 2019 from Chinese nationals, seeking visas for their Pakistani brides and only 50 visas applications were approved, while the remaining requests applications were withheld, Lijian Zhao also said, adding that the embassy had received 142 such visa applications in 2018.
I think this is human smuggling and greed is really responsible for these marriages because these girls are belonging to mostly very poor families. These Pakistani brides are trapped into human trafficking and prostitution in China on pretext of marriage. In the same way Christians and Hindu girls are being trapped by local Muslims men and they use their influence to abduct them, to rape them, to convert them in Islam and later to get them married with their kidnapers to save their skin from criminal charges. In the most of the cases victims are trapped into prostitution.

Christian are the most vulnerable in Pakistani society and they have been used for everything. I had worked as a HRD Lawyer at grassroots hence as per my experience the number of unreported cases will be higher as victims’ families usually avoid taking police help due to the wall of silence by the police and the police side with such cruel and influential culprits.
In Pakistan, abduction of girls from Christian and Hindu minorities’ communities has been on the higher side since years. These girls after abduction are sexually assaulted, forcibly married to the abductors and forced into conversions. Some human rights groups define persecution in old fashion way but the persecutors have changed their ways to persecute religious minorities in a new way and they called it policy and it could be implemented at both by Government sector and at private sector. So, it is the need of time to define religious persecution in a broader-way and to believe it or not Pakistani Christians and Hindu are most vulnerable who are being persecuted by Islamic extremists objectively because their poor status and poor defense in society.
We through LEAD platform urge Government of Pakistan to make such laws which can protect Christians and Hindu girls by influential Muslims hands who use these both religious minorities' girls as they wish to use them due to no fear of laws as there are not proper laws in Pakistan which can be implemented to protect such above said victims forced conversions and forced marriages. It is also our request to make sure of the implement of law and justice in Pakistan which at present is at not more than zero level in true sense.
