At the end of April 2020, a 14 year old Christian girl, Myra Shehbaz, was reportedly abducted and forced to marry in Faisalabad, Punjab. The latest information suggests that she was forcibly converted and married to her abductors. Although a National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) certificate has been produced confirming her age, a marriage certificate contradicts this, stating her age as 18. A typed statement was also produced, allegedly made by her, stating that she left her home and married willingly. The case is yet to proceed through the courts.

Very wrong! The poor girl deserves justice and the court is relied upon to serve that justice.
Child marriage is something that sickens me. The poor little thing must have been forced and threatened to say she married him willingly.
Things like this shouldn't even be heard of.
Interesting and complex situation. Is she actually 18+years old?
