Indian national Sarabjeet Kaur traveled to Pakistan in November 2023 with Sikh pilgrims but did not return, later converting to Islam, adopting the name Noor Fatima, and marrying Pakistani citizen Nasir Hussain. Her Indian husband, Karnal Singh, has petitioned the Lahore High Court to annul this marriage, citing that no divorce was obtained under Indian law and alleging forced conversion and financial inducements. The petition references Pakistani Shariat Court rules requiring judicial divorce before remarriage after conversion. The case involves legal, diplomatic, and personal complexities, with requests for protective measures and investigations ongoing.
