**ISLAMABAD: **Two women have been arrested for obtaining asylum in the United Kingdom by posing as a ?same-sex couple under threat in Pakistan?.
Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) arrested a British national, hailing originally from Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), and her Pakistani niece for misrepresenting facts on their travel documents. They were booked and shifted to FIA?s Human Trafficking Cell for further investigation.
According to sources, the two women arrived at Islamabad International Airport?s immigration counter as the staff was being briefed about Pakistan International Airline?s flight 791 leaving for Birmingham.
The immigration officer was perplexed to see that the women had declared themselves a married couple despite same-sex marriages not being allowed under Pakistani law.
The officer then alerted FIA personnel and when they probed the supposed couple further, the women also produced a forged marriage certificate.
FIA officials took the women in custody and moved them to the Human Trafficking Cell. Sources said that Pakistani authorities will contact British officials, who had been misguided into giving the women asylum.
The British woman told FIA officers that a lawyer had guaranteed a visa for her niece if they pose as a lesbian couple and apply for asylum, citing a threat to their lives.
Meanwhile FIA, in a separate raid, arrested a fraud travel agent who was trying to flee the country from Peshawar airport after looting many people on pretext of providing jobs abroad. The suspect identified as Amir Rehman has been shifted to Human Trafficking Cell in Islamabad.
Remember the dollar girl ayan ali ? she was caught red handed smuggling the currency and was declared proclaimed offender later on. Although her property in pakistan is going to be auctioned upon court orders, yet she is still not willing to come back to save her properties.. I just don’t get why people from well off families do such things…
Another British Pakistani woman sentenced to life imprisonment for carrying 63 kg of heroin. She was ready to leave Pakistan when authorities recovered narcotics from her luggage at Islamabad airport… WTF
?The immigration officer was perplexed to see that the women had declared themselves a married couple despite same-sex marriages not being allowed under Pakistani law?
Isnt that the point? Just because same sex marriage not allowed under our law, It doesn?t mean same sex relationships don?t exist. So why the perplexed reaction by the esteemed immigration layer.
Bro..this is not the first time ppl been abusing the system. This has been going on for a while now. Ppl do all sorts of odd stuff to get into foreign land. And sad it is..there are some ppl in Canada that i know..are abusing the system to get money out of Government left right and center!.And this is not only specific to Pakistani ppl…other nationalities including Indians are also been doing the same..
Just because lying, stealing exist in human societies, does not mean these things are right…I am perplexed to see that you are preplexed over the laws that were made to discourage ill human practices..

I was simply stating the following: the ladies gave same sex marriage as reason for immigration. Of course same sex marriage is banned in Pakistan. Precisely why anyone in a same sex relationship would apply for asylum. It can?t be a point of debate that same sex couples are in danger in Pakistan. That is why the immigration officer had no reason to be perplexed.
Now coming to your point, the only ?ill human? or evil practice is those who use their religion of choice to dictate how others should live their lives. Live and let live. I hereby declare such laws as evil and those who practice such laws to fall under the evil category.
One things is for sure - the right wing in the west and east have a lot in common. Both equate ?alternate lifestyles? with lying, stealing and worse. Now that is pure evil.
