According to Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Nakash is accused of kidnapping the teenager in the middle of the closing of Covid-19.

He has also been accused of filing a false marriage certificate, in which he alleges that Maira is 19 years old and that they were engaged last October.

Prayer requests for the case

Lala Daniel, the family’s lawyer, fears that Nakash is preparing Maira for the sex industry.

For the time being, she is staying at a women’s shelter by order of the court, until a verdict is reached.

Daniel said it was a “miracle” that the court had ordered Maira to leave Nakash’s home.

“Developments over the past few days have been an answer to prayer and we are so grateful for everyone for their prayers in this case,” he said.

The lawyer has reinforced the importance of raising prayers for the case, so that God takes control, highlighting also the weak health of the young woman’s mother due to this situation.

Finally, Khalil Tahir Sandhu, who will represent Maira and her family in the High Court, said there is hope for a good outcome.

“In terms of evidence to prove Maira is under age, we are on very solid ground with a birth certificate and other official documents.”
