A Pakistani court today ordered that Uzma Jan, the Indian woman who was allegedly forced to marry a Pakistani man at gunpoint, be deported to her country.

Magistrate Salman Amjad Siddique directed the Interior Ministry to deport Uzma Jan, a doctor, to India.

The court ordered that Uzma can go to her country and the case will be processed in her absence.

Uzma was asked by the court to meet her Pakistani "husband", Tahir -- which she refused. 

According to IANS sources,  Uzma will be deported to India on Thursday.

 

On May 3, Uzma went to Pakistan and later alleged that she was forced to marry Tahir, whom she met in Malaysia, at gunpoint.
