Shifa Rafaqat: Pakistan Fails to Prevent Child Marriages, Sexual Exploitation of Christian & Hindu Girls
Islam
48 Shifa was taken by a neighbour, Najma Liaquat, who was later converted to Islam and married to 48-year-old Syed Shabbar Ali Gillani. Despite an FIR (No. 1967/23) filed under Section 365-B of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC), authorities have yet to recover the unfortunate girl, highlighting severe inefficiencies in addressing Pakistan’s continuous human rights violations. Rafaqat Masih, Shifa’s distraught father, recounted a deeply troubling encounter with police at the Sheikhupura station.
