World Net Daily (via Atlas Shrugs) reports that a judge in a different case of an apostate from Islam in Ohio has ruled in her favor:

A judge in Ohio ruled a marriage arranged by a Muslim father for his 17-year-old daughter who now has converted to Christianity isn't valid, clearing her of accusations she made false statements in applying for a marriage license with the man who now is her husband.

The little-reported case developed in Ohio, where Larry Crain, senior counsel for the American Center for Law and Justice, argued on behalf of his client, identified only as "Nishan."

Nishan was married last month to a man she began dating this year when she converted to Christianity, the ACLJ said.

She didn't reveal her conversion to her "devout Muslim family members" until just before the marriage because she feared what they might do.

When her father discovered her plans, he allegedly tried to assault her and then filed a claim that she had falsified her marriage-license application because of the earlier arranged marriage.

And if he tried to beat up on her, that's reason enough for her NOT to have to be subject to this arranged marriage, since it'll likely end up being made in hell, with the husband continuing the violence. Let's now hope that she and her now husband will be moved to safe place, away from the violent "father" she has.

We must also hope that Rifqa Bary can gain this kind of justice, but it'll only be if we remain alert. Don't forget that there's another rally for Rifqa on December 22.
