Date: 20 June 2025
Location: Mirpurkhas, Sindh, Pakistan
In a recent development from Sindh, a 27-year-old Hindu woman named Kariman Bheel, daughter of Somaar and a resident of Mirpurkhas, has reportedly embraced Islam and married a local man.
After her conversion, Kariman adopted the Islamic name Jameela Shaikh. She married Mukhtar Rind, a resident of Sangipur, also located in the Mirpurkhas district.
The circumstances surrounding her conversion and marriage have not yet been officially clarified by local authorities or community representatives. As of now, no legal complaints or protests have been reported by the family or the local Hindu community.
Religious conversions and interfaith marriages remain sensitive and often contentious topics in Sindh, home to a significant Hindu minority. Human rights groups have previously expressed concern about the broader context in which such conversions occur, calling for transparent legal procedures and protection of individual rights—especially for women.
As this case unfolds, community leaders and legal authorities may be expected to ensure that the rights and freedoms of all parties involved are respected in accordance with Pakistani law and international human rights standards.
Further updates will follow as more details emerge.
