TAJIKISTAN: Christian Woman Beaten, Barely Escapes Forced Marriage



When Dinara came to faith in Christ, her Muslim family members beat her severely. Dinara fled from the abuse, but her family tricked her into returning by telling her that her grandfather was ill and urgently needed her attention. When she returned, she arrived to a room full of people waiting for her, including a Muslim man who was going to take her as his second wife. Dinara escaped and eventually fled to another nation, where she is working to start a new life. Nearly all Tajiks are Sunni Muslims, and fewer than 0.5% are Christians. Tajik women who convert to Christianity, like Dinara, can face severe pressure from their families.


  • Pray for women in Tajik to remain strong in the face of persecution.

  • Pray for Dinara to settle in as she starts her new life and to be a witness for Christ.
