SUKKUR: Faryal Shah (Rinkle Kumari) appeared before the media on Thursday and made it clear that she had not been kidnapped and had not been forced to convert to Islam and marry Naveed Shah.
Faryal said that she had converted to Islam and had married Naveed Shah of her own free will, and that nobody had pressurised her into this. Reading out the Kalma-e-Tayyaba, Faryal said she was a Muslim girl and therefore had nothing to do with her parents.
Faryal (Rinkle Kumari) and her husband Naveed Shah were produced in front of the Sindh High Court (SHC) Sukker bench on Thursday morning amid tight security.
The couple was escorted by SSP Ghotki Pir Mohammad Shah along with a heavy contingent of police. Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) MNA Mian Abdul Haq of Bharchoondi Sharif, his son Mian Mohammad Aslam and a large number of their followers were also present.
The couple through their lawyer, Achar Gabole, had filed a constitutional petition stating that their lives were under threat from the relatives of the girl, who had been issuing threats of dire consequences.
Answering a question on threats to their lives, she said, “Our lives are under threat from my maternal uncle Raj Kumar”. She once again made it clear that she was a Muslim and wanted to live with her husband Naveed Shah.
Advocate Mohammad Murad Lund, who was representing Faryal’s grandfather Manohar Lal, told The Express Tribune that the single bench comprising of Justice Ahmed Ali Shaikh without recording the statement of the girl had ordered SSP Ghotki to provide protection to the couple and ensure that they are produced before the SHC chief justice in Karachi on March 12.
Advocate Mohammad Murad Lund kept on insisting that, the girl was under pressure due to the presence of a large number of Bharchoondi Sharif followers. He said everything will become “crystal clear” in Karachi, as the girl would be able to record her statement in a tension free atmosphere.
Mian Mohammad Aslam of Bharchoondi Sharif said that everyone had seen that Faryal was neither under pressure and had not said a word against the Pirs. “Rather she gave a statement against her own maternal uncle who is threatening to kill her.”
He said his father, PPP MNA Mian Abdul Haq had also come to the court because the girl’s parents had requested that they wanted to meet their daughter, but they didn’t come to see her.
Aslam said when the couple had come to Dargah Bharchoondi Sharif on February 24, Faryal had spoken to her parents on his instructions and had told them that she had come there to convert to Islam and marry Naveed Shah.
“I personally requested them to come over and meet their daughter to see for themselves that she was not under pressure, but they didn’t’ come,” Mian Aslam said.
He once again said that neither Islam nor the law of the land allowed forced conversion.

LOL! Some people jumped the gun and started vomiting their venom too soon on the previous thread on this topic..One needs to be a little more sensitive on these issues, coz the parents always like to believe their child was innocent..

All of sudden support for love marriage by Islamists, that's ironic. I wish it was the same for the women who recently converted back to her own faith six months after converting to Islam, but was paraded in the streets with her head shaved. So this propoganda of a girl voluntary accepting and there is lobby trying to stop her is outright BS.

What an utter nonsense, a piece of garbage. Cant believe this fairy tale with 1001 holes. It is truly laughable to expect one to believe this mockery. However, now Rinkle should express herself as Muslim as it will save her and her family`s life. And Rinkle understands it well. My sister, may Allah (SWT) free u from the clutches of these vultures soon, Aameen!

Ofcourse you are living in New York so how won't you speak against Pakistanis. I understand it well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kindly accept your mistake instead of coming up with lame excuses as this is the 21st century. Yes there are bad people and maybe satans living in Pakistan but that doesn't mean that everyone is living under naked aggression or is a slave of another all seen all powerful one-eyed muslim dajjal. Ask common Afghanis, ask common Iraqis, ask anyone who has a bit of an idea about international politics and he will explain how America has carpet bombed women and little girls in various parts of the world. They are worse than vultures and that is what you have become because you are unable to understand the phenomenon of love. It is love so is this 4 letter word difficult for you to understand ????? Has your heart and brain become a stone that you can't understand that love can happen anywhere to anyone (except stone hearted people) ???????????????

Don't come up with lame arguments which I have been reading on various blogs that why Hindu girls are running away with Muslim boys. Before saying this do some research concerning the Hindu pandit-mulla mentality of Sindh and their attitude towards their women folk. It is similar to the muslim-mulla mentality which forces a muslim girl to break all relations with her family (which I believe is the most difficult decision for a girl) to runaway with a boy of another zaat, biradri, sect, race who they don't know in detail.

Also don't come up with the argument that why muslim women don't runaway with non-muslim men in Pakistan because I have seen cases in Pakistan where muslim women have married non-muslim men who converted to Islam. Don't want to name but even an ex co-editor of the The News (Jang group) was a Christian convert to Islam who married a Muslim woman. And believe me in this case it wasn't the Muslim woman's family who cut off the relations but the Christian side of the man who had problems initially as his family had severed relations with him for becoming a Muslim !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the short interview of Rinkle. As you are living in America you have the luxury to do a lie detector test of this recording and also show it to a psychologist and then come back with the results. This is the 21st century so why not start applying science !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



One of the aids to help us know whether this girl was forced or not is for her to have lie detector test in the court. You must be knowing that American justice system uses the lie detecting system as a tool to guide the court proceedings. So for a start go for it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any proof or is it just your own openion?
Many Revert to Islam in the west and throughout the world, are they afraid that if they dont Revert to islam someone will kill them and their families??

It wasn't really for Islam, it was actually love. She could have done that without running with a guy. Plus, what about a women who has reverted back to christianity on her own will, what do u jamaaties say about that?

Well that is because, nobody will harm them if they convert to Islam. In muslim countries, if you choose to leave Islam, then you are declared an apostate which means u r dead. Now obviously, u r afraid that the religion will vanish if u don't have such punishments to forcefully keep people in Islam.
