ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has declared conversion of religion by two Hindu girls, Aasia alias Raveena and Nadia alias Reena, as ‘rightful’ and also approved their plea seeking protection, ARY News reported on Thursday.

An Islamabad High Court (IHC) bench headed by Chief Justice Athar Minallah heard the petition which sought protection filed by petitioners, Safdar and Barkat, who are husbands of the two girls.

The high court declared the conversion of the girls as lawful citing reports compiled by a probe commission and medical board to ascertain facts behind allegations of their forced conversion after abduction and underage marriages.

The medical report, prepared by the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims), submitted its report which stated that the girls were not minors at the time of their marriages to the Muslim men.

It is pertinent to mention here that the court had set up a five-member commission on March April 2 comprising Human Rights Minister Dr Shireen Mazari, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) Chairperson Dr Mehdi Hasan, National Commission on the Status of Women Chairperson Khawar Mumtaz, human rights activist I.A. Rehman and renowned Islamic scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani.
