Indian authorities stop AJK woman at Wagah border

ISLAMABAD – Indian authorities stopped a woman from Azad Jammu and Kashmir who married to a resident of occupied Kashmir while she was returning to Pakistan via Wagah-Attari border to meet her parents.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Indian authorities stopped Kubra Gilani even when she was having travel documents. Kubra was born in Muzaffarabad, AJK, and married to Altaf Rathar, a resident of Kokernag area Islamabad district in occupied Kashmir in March 2010 in Muzaffarabad. However, the marriage didn’t prove long lasting and the two separated in November 2018.

The Indian authorities disallowed Kubra Gilani from crossing the Wagah-Attari Border and instead sent her
back, the report said.
