jon-nycThe joys of Sharia law
14 year old Catholic girl abducted in Pakistan, Muslim captor ‘converts’ her to Islam and ‘marries’ her.
Pakistani judge rules the marriage valid ‘as long as she has had her first period’.
To put it in perspective this girl was born in 2005, AFTER this forum started.

Piano*DadDon't go judging other traditions, Jon ...
Oh, here's a piece from the WaPo by someone who is unlikely ever to return to that Godly country of Iran.

AxtremusThis is unfortunately not an isolated incident.
There was a report from 2004 that estimated around ~1000 Hindu and Christian girls/women abducted a forced converted to Islam to marry Muslim men.
