The Pakistan Supreme Court made a decision on April 18 on the Hindu women reportedly kidnapped.  The women returned to their husbands, who their families stated kidnapped them an denied them their freedom of religion.  Rediff, Pakistan Christian Post, and others have reported on this.  Some decried the lack of an open court to hear the judgment.

The Los Angeles Times reports on “a society where Hindus are often terrorized by Muslim extremists.”  In the article, the Los Angeles Times reports that “The issue was thrust into the spotlight by the case of Rinkle Kumari, a 17-year-old Hindu girl from the town of Mirpur Mathelo in the southern province of Sindh. The case was one of three that recently went before Pakistan’s Supreme Court.  Kumari’s parents, who are not related to Rachna’s family, allege that five men broke into their house in late February, subdued Rinkle with a chloroform-soaked cloth and took her away. The parents say the girl was forced to convert to Islam and marry Naveed Shah, a neighbor.”
