The court has adjourned the hearing until May 22
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Indian national named Uzma has contested in Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Friday that her Pakistani husband, Tahir forced her to sign the marriage certificate and that she was not willing to marry the man.
A reply was filed in the court today by Uzma and Indian High Commission against Tahir’s petition seeking the court to bar his wife to leave for India.

Earlier the Indian national had stated before the court during one of the hearings that she has to take care of her ailing daughter back in India and thus should be allowed to leave Pakistan.
