Rapists are declared innocent under Sharia Law even after abusing Hindu girls

Islamabad (Pakistan) – Under Section 498-B of the Pakistan Penal Code, forcibly marrying a girl of any religion is considered a crime in Pakistan. The law provides for a punishment of 3 to 7 years’ imprisonment for such offences. In cases involving sexual assault or abduction of a girl, the punishment can extend to 7 to 10 years. However, according to a report by a television channel, when the issue concerns the safety of Hindu girls in Pakistan, despite the existence of constitutional law, Sharia law is applied instead, resulting not in justice but injustice for Hindu victims.

When a Muslim man in Pakistan forcibly marries a Hindu girl after converting her to Islam, courts often cite Sharia law and rule that “no crime has occurred.” In such cases, the accused Muslim men are acquitted. It has repeatedly come to light that similar discrimination is practiced not only against Hindus but also against Christians and other minority communities.

The entire system is rapist in Pakistan in cases involving Hindu girls

In 2012, a Hindu girl named Rinkle Kumari was subjected to atrocities in Pakistan by the radical leader Mian Mithu. She was abducted, raped, forcibly converted to Islam, and married off to a Muslim man. Her family approached the courts for justice, but every court ruled against her. Not only that, it is alleged that several judges also sexually assaulted her. Human rights activist Mr Mahesh Vasu, who works for the protection of Pakistani Hindus, has made a short film titled “Rinkle” based on this case. He recently informed Sanatan Prabhat that the film will be released soon.
