LAHORE, Pakistan — A married 35-year-old Muslim man abducted the 12-year-old daughter of his Christian neighbor and took her to another province, where he forcibly converted her to Islam and married her.

Saba Shafique was abducted by Muhammad Ali from outside her home in the Walton Model Colony No. 2 neighborhood of Lahore Cantonment, Punjab Province on Jan. 5, according to her father, Shafique Masih. Ali took her to Shaheed Benazirabad city, formerly known as Nawabshah, in Sindh Province, he said.

Masih, a Catholic who works as a painter after retiring from the Pakistan Army, said Ali produced a fake marriage certificate on Jan. 8 that states Saba’s age as 18, though her birth certificate states she was born on May 16, 2012, making her 12 years old.
