LAHORE – A Pakistani woman on Wednesday approached a Punjab court to revoke her nikah with her Chinese husband.
Rabeea, who tied the knot with Zhang Su Chan earlier this year, ran away from China after reportedly being tortured by her husband.
She has now filed a case for dissolution of marriage at the court of senior civil judge Shabana Hameed in Gujranwala.
In her petition, the woman maintained that after she went to her husband’s home in China, he subjected her to torture.
However, she approached the police through Pakistani Embassy and succeeded in returning Gujranwala with the help of the police.
The case comes to light amid an ongoing clamp down against alleged sex trafficking racket of Chinese nationals in Pakistan.
In an intelligence-based operation on Wednesday, the human trafficking cell of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) recovered three Pakistani women and detained 14 Chinese nationals who were allegedly involved in the trafficking of Pakistani women on the false pretext of marriages.
According to media reports, one of the girls who was recovered by FIA is underage and revealed that she had married a Chinese man who pretended to be Muslim on the internet but later she found out that the man is atheist.
Weapons, Chinese passports, illicit medicines and gold ornaments among others were also recovered during the raid.
