Extra Bio Info:

Kajol Meghwar was subjected to forced renunciation of faith. 

In December 2024, 15-year-old Meghwar, a Hindu girl from Mirpurkhas Disctrict in Sindh Province, was abducted at gunpoint from her home. She was taken to Umerkot District, where she was forcibly converted to Islam, renamed "Javeriya," and married to her abductor, with her age recorded as 19. Her father was pressured not to file a first information report (FIR). 

In January 2025, Kajol appeared in court, where she claimed she did not recognize her parents and gave testimony in favor of her abductor. During court proceedings, Meghwar confided in her sister, saying she could not go with her parents because her abductors were waiting outside and she feared for her family's safety.
