A French woman allegedly held captive by her husband for 12 years has been rescued in Pakistan. The 60-year-old woman, identified as Jacqueline, was found in a dilapidated house in the city of Lahore on Saturday. Pakistani police acted on a tip-off from Jacqueline’s cousin, who informed the French Embassy in Islamabad about her whereabouts.
According to reports, Jacqueline had been forcibly kept in the house by her husband, a Pakistani national, since 2009. She was reportedly subjected to physical and psychological abuse during her captivity. Pakistani authorities have arrested the husband, who is now facing charges of abduction and domestic violence.
The French Embassy has confirmed the rescue of Jacqueline and stated that they are providing her with the necessary consular assistance. Jacqueline is said to be in a fragile state both physically and mentally and is currently receiving medical treatment.
The case has drawn attention to the issue of domestic abuse and violence against women, both in Pakistan and globally. Authorities are investigating the circumstances that led to Jacqueline’s prolonged captivity and are working to ensure her safety and well-being.
Both the French and Pakistani governments have expressed their commitment to addressing the issue of domestic violence and providing support to victims. Further details about the case are expected to emerge as the investigation progresses.
