Recently, a deeply concerning incident unfolded in Sukkur, where Riya Kumari, a young Hindu girl, was tragically abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, and coerced into marrying Muhammad Raza Qureshi. This distressing episode serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address the issues surrounding forced conversions and protect the rights of individuals belonging to minority communities.
In order to promote understanding and respect for religious freedom, it is crucial to recognize that forced conversion is a violation of an individual’s basic human rights. Coercing or compelling someone to change their religious beliefs goes against the principles of freedom, autonomy, and personal choice.
