Sikh Girl Who Embraced Islam Leaves Darul Aman To Live With Muslim Husband

                                                   Jagjit Kaur

Pictures of Hassan and his father Zulfiqar Ali sharing sweets and greetings with friends were released on social media.

Jagjit Kaur alias Ayesha Bibi finally went to live with her Muslim husband Muhammad Hassan at his house in Lahore from Darul Aman on Thursday where she had stayed for nearly a year even as her father and brother met Pakistan Punjab’s governor Chaudhary Mohammad Sarwar seeking his intervention to bring back Jagjit to the family.

While talking to TOI over phone from Lahore, Muhammad Sultan Sheikh, counsel for Ayesha and her husband Hassan, said that there was an atmosphere of jubilation and sweets were distributed outside Darul Aman for their victory.

Sultan said he had accompanied Hassan and his family members to Darul Aman to pick Ayesha and dropped all of them at Hassan’s house in his car amid heavy security arrangement.

Notably, on August 12, Lahore High Court had ordered to send Ayesha with her husband after she gave a statement in the court that she didn’t want to go to her parents’ house but wanted to live with Hassan.

Daughter of Bhagwan Singh who is granthi of Gurdwara Tambu Sahib, Nankana Sahib, Ayesha had embraced Islam on August 28 last year and married her Muslim boyfriend Hassan the next day. However, following tension between two communities in Nankana Sahib, a local court had ordered to send Jagjit at Darul Aman where she had been staying for nearly a year.

Meanwhile, Amritsar Lok Sabha Member Parliament (MP) Gurjeet Singh Aujla has written a letter to Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan seeking his intervention in the issue. He has ‘warned’ Khan that he will raise the issue at the international level and Prime Minister Narnedra Modi.

“I strongly condemn the oppression and harassment of the Sikh girls in the hands of persons belonging to the majority religion. I, first of all, request you to resolve this issue in a very peaceful, fair, judicious manner or else this matter shall be taken up by me with Indian prime minister and also at international forums to ensure that speedy justice is delivered and no such oppression, harassment, and coercion shall be tolerated at any cost," Aujla said.
