In this April 14, 2019 photo, Muqadas Ashraf speaks to The Associated Press in Gujranwala, Pakistan. Muqadas Ashraf was just 16 when her parents married her off to a Chinese man who had come to Pakistan looking for a bride. Less than five months later, Muqadas is back home in Pakistan, pregnant and seeking a divorce from a husband she says was abusive.
“This is human smuggling,” said Ijaz Alam Augustine, the human rights and minorities minister in Pakistan’s Punjab province, in an interview with the AP. “Greed is really responsible for these marriages ... I have met with some of these girls and they are very poor.” “It’s purely supply and demand,” she said. “It used to be, ‘Is she light-skinned?’ Now it’s like, ‘Is she female?’”Saleem Iqbal, a Christian activist, said he first began to see significant numbers of marriages to Chinese men in October. Since then, an estimated 750 to 1,000 girls have been married off, he said.
Muqadas’ mother Nasreen said she was promised about $5,000, including wedding costs. “But I have not seen anything yet,” she said. The city has several mainly Christian neighborhoods, largely dirt poor with open sewers running along narrow slum streets.

Like the prophets of the Bible, in April 1993, I, Kacou Philippe, a man who had never been in a church, I receive in a vision, the visitation of an Angel who commissions me for a Message destined to the whole earth in fulfillment of Matthew 25:6 and Revelation 12:14.

we call this ,, shit happens. Different cultures over there and we cannot expect it to be just like ours because we think it should.
🤦🏾♀️ smh
You are wrong...Chinese trafficking muslims girls through Christian girls. I am from Pakistan and i know.
Vile people
Disgusting. And in the US, folks are bent over trans-rights and reparations for blacks.
Not only Christian Girls. Muslim women have also been smuggled the same way . More than Christian women
Pakistan is the worst country for minority
Come on women are property in Muslim countries so go figure that these girls are taken and sold. They being Christian it's just surprising they haven't been killed. Where is the women's March and equality advocates at fighting this. Oh in America where they are oppressed also
Now here is something western Christians can be upset about-as we all are-with a legit response. Not like war on Xmas or....
MamataOfficial now say how good is Pakistan MehboobaMufti
ImranKhanPTI now what will you do
Murica no like China's BRI
China. They'll traffic in anything. Child brides, stolen tech, weapons, drugs etc. Heck all endangered animals are fair game in their unrelenting penchant to eat, grind up, mix, freeze dry, all in the name of vitality and a hard on. Pretty sick
Frankly, I could care less. We have massive human trafficking issues at our southern border the Democrats refuse to address. America First. Period.

Christianity is the world’s most persecuted religion - fact.
