Here is an update to the story of Maria Shahbaz, the 14-year-old Christian girl in Pakistan who was abducted and forcibly married to a Muslim man (see the August 8 article). Pakistan's Lahore High Court later validated her marriage to her abductor and rapist, quoting Sharia Law and verses from the Koran, but Shahbaz managed to escape her captors and go into hiding with her parents. They are now seeking asylum in the UK.

UK Prime Minister Urged to Grant Asylum to Pakistani Christian Teen
11/23/2020 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – The UK’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, has been urged to offer asylum to Maira Shahbaz, a 14-year-old Pakistani Christian girl who was abducted, forcefully married, and forcefully converted to Islam earlier this year. According to Aid to the Church in Need, Shahbaz remains under threat months after she escaped her abductor and returned to her family.
On April 28, 2020, Shahbaz was abducted at gunpoint by Mohamad Nakash Tariq, a 45-year-old man, and two accomplices while walking home in Madina Town, near Faisalabad. According to witnesses, the abductors forced Shahbaz into a car and fired gunshots in the air as they fled the scene.
Aid to the Church in Need reports Shahbaz told police she was drugged, raped, and force to sign blank papers that were later used by Nakash as a marriage certificate and a conversion certificate. Shahbaz also claimed that Nakash filmed her being raped and threatened to release the video online if she resisted.
In August, Shahbaz escaped Nakash’s custody and fled into hiding with her parents. Her escape took place five days after the Lahore High Court validated her marriage to Nakash.
Recently, more than 9,000 people signed a petition asking the Prime Minister to grant Shahbaz and her family asylum in the UK. Supporters claim that Shahbaz faces threats from vigilantes who accuse her of committing apostasy for breaking off the marriage with Nakash.

Ad - Islam's Deception: The Truth About Sharia, by former FBI Counterterrorism Special Agent John D. Guandolo. How much do you know about the Islamic laws that govern Muslims and Muslim countries?
Islam defines itself as a "complete system of life”—social, cultural, military, political, and religious—governed by sharia (Islamic Law). Following sharia is what it means to be a Muslim. Submitting to Islam means submitting to Allah’s divine law—sharia.
There is no such thing as a “version” of sharia that does not require jihad until the entire planet is under Islamic Law (sharia). That is why Muslim instructors teach it to Muslim children in Muslim schools all over the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the rest of the planet. There are disastrous consequences when Presidents and national security professionals do not know this.
