Pakistan: Christian Woman Abducted, Forcibly Converted and Married to Muslim Kidnapper...
What a bullshite excuse for a "religion"....
1/28/08 Pakistan - In an all-too rare occurrence, Tahira Salamat, 20, a Christian woman, was released from her Muslim kidnapper on January 23, 2008. Tahira had been abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, and forcibly married to a Muslim man four months ago in Vehari district, Punjab.
Two Muslim men, Abdul Sattar and Muhammad Khalid, reportedly abducted Tahira while she was on her way to the workplace in Chak 136/10 - R, Tehsil Jahaniyan, Khanewal district on September 14, 2007. After kidnapping her, these two men forced her to marry Muhammad Ramazan, a Muslim. In order to be a suitable wife for a Muslim, the two men also made her convert to Islam against her will.
Meanwhile, her father, Salamat Masih, and her mother gathered their relatives and searched frantically for her in shelter houses, morgue rooms, and hospitals for over a month, but failed to turn up any leads. Tahira was finally found at Muhammad Ramazans house on January 23, 2008, and from there police handed her over to her parents. However, the kidnappers have so far escaped any reprimand. At the time this story was written, none of them had been arrested.
The court still has to make a decision regarding the status of Tahira and Ramazans marriage.
