The family of a Pakistani woman is demanding the return of a Christian mother of three from a Muslim man who abducted and raped her then forced her into an Islamic marriage.

The British Pakistani Christian Association (BPCA) says that Fouzia Sadiq, believed to be in her mid-20s, was taken by Muhammed Nazir, 55.  Nazir is a landowner who “employed” the family of the kidnapped woman.

“Muslim landlord Muhammed Nazir … employed the whole family, including the children in a form of modern day slavery, paying very little money and providing squalid shelter,” the organization said in a release. “The husband signed a contract with a thumbprint, unable to read it due to only 7 percent of Christians attaining an adequate level of literacy.”

The family reported the kidnapping but the next day were threatened. They were also told Fouzia was now Nazir’s property, and she had accepted Islam and married him.

“My sister has been missing for five days and police are refusing to register an FIR, my heart is broken,” said her sister Iqra Sadiq. “Our landlord is a cruel man and we have been starving since he stopped the little payment that was due to us. We have no power and have to face such injustice, please help us!”

The head of the BPCA, Wilson Chowdhry, said that the family will likely never see their sister again or have her released because the legal system in Pakistan is weighted in favor of Muslims.

“The authority of a Muslim man’s words significantly outweighs that of Christians, so they have little hope of ever retrieving Fouzia from a life of pain, brutality and debauchery.”

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom in May urged President Obama to declare Pakistan a “country of particular concern” for not protecting the rights of non-Muslim religions.
