The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday granted permission to an Indian woman who had accused a Pakistani man of marrying her at gunpoint, to return to her country, Pakistan’s Geo-News reported. The bench gave Uzma her original immigration form back after her husband Tahir Ali submitted it to the court on Tuesday. The judges instructed the police to provide her with security till she reached the Wagah Border Crossing.

Ali had said he wanted to meet Uzma in private, but she had refused. The bench said she would not be forced to see him if she did not want to do so.

On May 19, Uzma had submitted a six-page reply to the High Court claiming she was forced to sign the Nikkahnaama and requested the court to allow her to travel to India as her visa expired on May 30. She had earlier filed an application at the judicial magistrate’s court in Islamabad.

In her plea, the New Delhi resident said she got to know Ali in Malaysia and had contacted him after she returned to India. She alleged that the man had forced her to get a Pakistani visa to visit him and that he had drugged her soon after picking her up from the Wagah border.

After she woke up the same night in a “strange village with strange people”, she said Ali had sexually assaulted and tortured her and then threatened to kill her. “The next day, they brought me to a dirty and strange house, they took my signature on nikkahnaama [marriage contract] at gunpoint,” Uzma claimed. She also said Ali was already married, with four children.
