In the cross-border case of Sarabjeet Kaur, her husband Karnal Singh has approached the Lahore High Court seeking annulment of her marriage in Pakistan. He said the marriage was done without ending her previous one in India. The Sarabjeet Kaur case dates back to November 2025, when Kaur, an Indian national, travelled to Pakistan with around 2,000 Sikh pilgrims on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev Parkash Purv.
On November 13, all the pilgrims returned to India except Kaur.
She was reported missing from the jatha. Later, it was found that she married a Pakistani citizen, Nasir Hussain. It was reported that she converted to Islam and changed her name to Noor Fatima. The 52-year-old woman met Hussain on social media and was in a relationship with him for 8 years.
As per the latest petition filed in the case by Karnal Singh, Kaur is still legally married to Karnal Singh under Indian law, as no divorce has been obtained to date. The petition also alleged forced conversion. The plea additionally calls for the initiation of rape charges against Nasir Hussain, alleging that he knowingly entered into a marriage contract with a woman who was already married.

Pakistan's Federal Shariat Court has laid down clear principles governing the marriage of a married non-Muslim woman who converts to Islam. As per the principles, the woman is required to first obtain a judicial divorce in accordance with her domestic laws. Then she must invite her non-Muslim husband to embrace Islam in the presence of two witnesses. If the husband refuses, a 90-day waiting period must be observed before the marriage can be considered dissolved.
