An Indian Sikh woman who traveled to Pakistan as part of a religious pilgrimage has embraced Islam and married a Pakistani man, officials confirmed.
The woman, previously known as Sarbjeet Kaur, adopted the name Noor after her conversion. According to the marriage certificate, the 48-year-old married Nasir Hussain, a resident of Farooqabad in Sheikhupura district, on November 5. The document notes that the agreed haq mehr of Rs. 10,000 has already been paid.
Sarbjeet Kaur entered Pakistan on November 4 with a group of Sikh pilgrims visiting for the birth anniversary celebrations of Baba Guru Nanak. When the group returned to India on November 13, she was not among them, and her visa expired the same day. Authorities initially considered her missing due to her absence.
