Alina Khalid
Extra Bio Info:
Alina Khalid was subjected to forced renunciation of faith.
In June 2024, 14-year-old Khalid, a Christian girl from Islamabad, was abducted from her home by a neighbor. She was later converted to Islam and married, with her age shown as 19 on the marriage certificate. Her father, a sanitary worker, filed a first information report (FIR), and police recovered Khalid in July, placing her in the custody of the Child Protection Bureau.
In September 2024, the District Commissioner handed custody of Khalid from the CPB to the man who abducted her. The court's decision relied primarily on Khalid's testimony before the Magistrate that she was an adult and had converted and married of her own free will. In the proceedings, the court ignored multiple petitions filed by her father, dismissed allegations that her statement was coerced, and disregarded her NADRA-issued birth certificate, which verified her age was 14.
