KARACHI:
Forced conversions of Hindu girls and marriage to Muslim men remains a problem for the Hindu community in Sindh even now, with 15 recent cases so far this year.
This was revealed at a press conference held by the Pakistan Hindu Seva (PHS) Welfare Trust and the Sindhi Hindu Youth Wing, Nawabshah, at Karachi Press Club on Wednesday.
“In only 20 per cent of the cases can it be said that conversion was voluntary and not forced upon the girl after abduction,” said PHS head Sanjesh Dhanja. “We have no issue if someone opts for it on their own but in most cases, the girls are forced into it.”
