Two girls say Chinese husbands running brothel
40
SARGODHA: Two girls belonging to Kot Momin have alleged that two Chinese men married them and attempted to smuggle them to China, but they managed to escape after realising that their ‘husbands’, who claimed to be Muslims, were running a brothel in Lahore on the pretext of a marriage bureau.
Samina and Tasawur Bibi of Kot Momin tehsil, some 50 kilometres from here, told the media that they belonged to poor families and their parents married them off to Chinese men, who assured their parents they will keep the girls in Lahore and arrange business for the families. But, the girls said, they realised that the men were neither Muslim nor honest. They also alleged that the Chinese were running a brothel and using the cover of a marriage bureau in Lahore’s DHA Phase I. They said that as soon as they found out the reality, they escaped.
Samina and Tasawur also approached a lawyer for dissolution of marriage and appealed to the Punjab inspector general of police to take action against the culprits.
Some Christian families are also eagerly waiting for any information on their daughters, who were married to Chinese men and later taken to China.

It is very well known that Chinese gangs like many others are notoriously known for human trafficking. This aspect might open the sleeping authorities are influx of Chinese means some wrong people might find their way in to Pakistan and this has nothing to do with good relation with China.

Common pakistanis are simple and innocent people and would take others at their face value. Chinese on the other hand are really street smart, soon this is gonna cause problems in our neighborhoods if a timely action isn't taken.

The true colours of Chinese mafia is coming out. However, I wonder how can parents give their daughters to foreigners with whom we neither have any culture links or similarities nor linguistic. Just because one is poor can marry their daughter to unknown people so far off?

Please separate business and strategic relations from personal. Strategic relations are those between states, business relations are those between companies and personal relations are those between people. Do not be gullible and expect that if strategic relations are working, personal relations are going to work also.
Even business relations are between two firms for a mutually advantageous profit. Politics should never be a consideration apart from legal risk.

What action is the Chinese govt taking to prevent this atrocious practice?These people have come as part of CPEC to carry out projects and have no business to lure poor innocent girls into flesh trade on the pretext of marrying them.They must be caught and punished under local laws for their heinous crimes.Another issue.Why can't the government insist on recruitment of local people for the projects instead of bringing. these third rate guys from China?

If a muslim woman marries a non muslim or a Aheist or a Hindu or a Sihk or a Bhuddist, there is no Nikah. So Khula or divorce is redundant, Nikah was basically invalid at the time it was performed.

@Overseas Pakistani,
Rehabilitation for victims? Rehabilitation is usually for criminals so to make them lawabiding.
Victims usually need psychological help and support. Dont they teach you the difference overseas?
Also in Pakistan we have neither rehabilitation or victim help services.
