Information received concerning the practice of forced conversions and marriages affecting women and girls from religious minorities, with particular reference to the cases of 5 individuals, members of the Christian and Hindu communities in Pakistan ranging in age from 13 to 20 at the time of their abductions, who have reportedly been forcibly converted to Islam and married against their will. In six out of seven of these cases, the victim was reportedly underage at the time of their forced marriage, and the consent of their legal guardians was not provided. These individual cases are not exceptions, but are indicative of a wider phenomenon throughout the country.
