The Persecution of the Family of "Adam" & "Felicia" in Pakistan
In 2010 a Muslim
woman by the name of “Felicia” converted to Christianity and married a Christian
named “Adam.” Under Sharia Law, Muslim
women cannot marry a non-Muslim man, so they both went to court and claimed “Adam”
converted to Islam. After they married, they
both became Christian again. Soon
afterward, the police arrested “Adam" and members of his family but released
them a few months later. Despite this, they
are not safe. “Felicia's” family has
been hunting them down ever since and wants to kill them both. For under Sharia Law, leaving Islam is a
death sentence.
What they
want more than anything is asylum, the simple chance to live without fear for
their lives and raise their children in peace.
Despite their danger, “Felicia” is happy with her husband and is glad
she is saved by Jesus. She still loves
and misses her family, but fears what will happen if they’re ever found. This couple struggles to feed, shelter, and
provide and education for their children, but they are prepared to endure these
hardships for their faith.
