Indian Sikh Woman Who Married Pakistani Man Detained in Lahore Amid Deportation Proceedings

Sarabjit Kaur, a 48-year-old Indian Sikh woman from Punjab, traveled to Pakistan in November 2025 with Sikh pilgrims for a religious event but did not return. She converted to Islam, married Pakistani national Nasir Hussain, and adopted the name Noor Hussain. Pakistani authorities arrested her and sent her to a shelter home in Lahore amid legal disputes and deportation attempts hindered by documentation and border issues. Kaur has expressed a desire to stay, while some allege security concerns. The case remains under court consideration.
