SUKKUR: Another case of a Hindu girl converting to Islam has surfaced as she and her husband approached a court seeking safety after receiving threats from the girl’s family. The girl, Manisha, embraced Islam and married Ghulam Mustafa of Jacobabad after moving to Amroth Sharif on August 6. She also changed her name to Mahwish.
The relationship that started with friendship on phone culminated in the girl’s conversion to Islam and the subsequent marriage. The incident coincided with the purported migration of Sindh’s Hindu families to India on the pretext of poor law and order. The couple approached the Sindh High Court’s Sukkur Bench and sought protection. Manisha’s father, Rivat Mall, alleged that his daughter was kidnapped and forced to embrace Islam.
