Indian woman forced to marry Pakistani to be deported to India

New Delhi: A Pakistan court on Wednesday ordered that Indian woman who was forced to marry a Pakistani man at a gunpoint and later taken to Pakistan, be deported back to India. Uzma Jan, who is a doctor by profession, had taken a refuge in Indian High Commission in Islamabad. Magistrate Salman Amjad Siddique ordered the Interior Ministry to deport Uzma Jan to India after her repeated pleas. Uzma Ahmed filed a plea with a court in Islamabad and told the magistrate that Tahir, her husband, duped her into visiting him in Pakistan, sexually assaulted her and then forced her to marry him at gunpoint. The court ordered that Uzma can go to her country and the case will be processed in her absence. Uzma was asked by the court to meet her Pakistani "husband", Tahir - which she refused. Sources said Uzma will be deported to India on Thursday. On May 3, Uzma went to Pakistan and later alleged that she was forced to marry Tahir, whom she met in Malaysia, at gunpoint. The couple reportedly met in Malaysia, where they were both working. After they returned to their respective countries, Tahir asked Uzma to visit him in Pakistan. Uzma secured a Pakistani visa and reached that country on May 1 via the Wagha-Attari border. Tahir then drove her to a mountainous village - but sedated her in the car, she has claimed.
