Pakistani Court Awards Christian Girl to Abductor
Faith and Freedom Report ^ | 02/06/2026

Faith Facts

A Christian family in Pakistan is mourning a court ruling that handed their 13-year-old daughter to her abductor, undermining official records and disregarding the sanctity of childhood.

Despite clear evidence and appeals from her parents, judicial authorities ignored the girl’s legal birth documents and failed to provide protection for her vulnerable status.

“The judges should have taken into account that she was likely to give a statement in the accused’s favor under duress,” said Safdar Chaudhry, chairperson of Raah-e-Nijaat Ministry.

Christian families in Pakistan continue to face great risk as forced conversions and child marriages target their daughters, often leaving parents helpless before the law.

Even law enforcement agencies showed concerning reluctance in safeguarding Maria Shahbaz, as police inaction and investigative failures were highlighted by legal advocates.

While new laws have raised the national marriage age for Christians and the capital city to 18, provincial delays and Sharia law loopholes leave many Christian girls unprotected.

“If superior courts refuse to recognize official birth documents, there is little hope for protecting minor girls,” Chaudhry warned.

Cases like Maria’s reveal urgent needs for justice and protections rooted in Biblical principles: upholding truth, defending the vulnerable, and protecting faith and families.

Let us pray for Maria and advocate for Christian families under persecution, standing firm for biblical justice and the moral protection of children.

We should have nuked Pakistan after we killed Bin Laden. We’d be doing the world a favor.

I hear it is easy to get an AK-47 in Pakistan if you pretend to be a muslim and don’t say “I am a Christian and a muslim abducted my daughter”.

We definitely need to bring more of them over here so we can learn more about diversity.

It’d be a damned shame if one went off about 5,000 above Mecca.

50 kilotons ought to do it.

You’re absolutely right, but just imagine what the response would be if they found their precious black stone a couple of miles away intact?

Can you imagine how the nutcases would twist that in their Mosques?

Her “husband” needs to be killed and she needs to be returned to her family.

Without lies
Islam dies.

For the first time ever an Islamic country is in rebellion against Islam. This is because the Internet has made the truth known to the Mozlems in Islamoland. Of course Iran has shut the Internet down and is even using Russian Jamming equipment to prevent Starlink from operating in Iran. I've read the regime is moving capital out of the country which is a sign the Revolution is winning .

Then they could dance around the radioactive rubble until they all melt.

I’d be fine with that.
