CHRISTIAN BREAKING NEWS: Pakistani Christian Girl’s Forced Marriage Annulled, Victory for Religious Freedom [#ShahidaBibi]
Shahida Bibi is now free to return home to her father and her Christian faith after a Pakistani court overturned her forced conversion and marriage to her stepfather’s brother.
Bibi was 11 years old when her mother eloped with a Muslim guy, who later “gave” her to his brother.
Bibi went on to have 2 children, and the brother entered into an Islamic Nikah, or marital union, with her when she became 18, in order to avoid prosecution under the anti-child marriage law.
In February 2025, a civil court in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, issued a decree in Bibi’s favor, ordering that her forced marriage be dissolved on all identifying documents.
Bibi received new documents that appropriately identify her religion as Christianity.
ADF International and other attorneys aided Bibi’s legal defense.
