12-year old, Farah Shaheen, was kidnapped, forced to renounce her Christian faith and marry her kidnapper, Khizar. Five months after she was kidnapped, Farah was found in December 2020 chained in the home of her kidnapper. The marks on her ankles show that she was probably chained for most of her time in captivity.
In a court ruling on 16th February, custody was given to her father, Asif Masih. The court also ruled that the marriage was not legal and Farah has since been returned to her family.
Pray for Farah’s emotional healing, as well as that of her family. Pray that God’s loving presence will fill their hearts with an overwhelming sense of peace, comfort and even joy as they recover from the traumatic event.
Pray for Farah’s continued safety as the kidnapper has not been formally charged for his crimes and has been released on bail.
