Sarabjit had been living in Amanipur with her two sons, while her husband Karnail Singh, who divorced her, has lived in England for nearly 15 years.

A 48-year-old Sikh woman put Punjab Police in a tizzy when she went missing in Pakistan while travelling as part of a pilgrimage group for Guru Nanak Dev’s 556th birth anniversary. She has now been traced to Sheikhupura, where she is said to have converted to Islam after marrying a local man.

Police on Saturday confirmed that Sarabjit Kaur, now known as Noor Hussain, “solemnised nikah” with 43-year-old Nasir Hussain on November 5, just a day after entering Pakistan with a 1,931-member Sikh .

Authorities say a nikahnama widely circulated on social media on Friday lists her new identity and address in Haal Maukeen village of Sheikhupura.
