An interesting story on minorities taking advantage of religious laws. Reading between the lines, it seems that two Christian boys wanted to elope with their underage girlfriends in 2011, in a way that would stop the girls parents from getting them back.
So the boys and girls ran away, converted to Islam, then got married. When the girls parents filed a kidnapping case, the boys claimed that as an Islamic marriage was carried out, there was no kidnapping.
The court was unwilling to send the now-Muslim girls back to their Christian parents, so the kidnapping charge was quashed.
When one of the girls was abandoned by her husband later, she chose to go to a woman’s shelter rather than return to her parents, despite being legally a minor.
A couple of months later, she’s agreed to return to her parents as she had a bad experience in the woman’s shelter, but the court has said that her family is not allowed to force her to convert back to Christianity.
