A video from her later revealed that she had converted to Islam and married a Muslim boy named Ali Raza Machi.

"I have converted to Islam on my own free will and my Muslim name now is Aliza. I accepted Islam at Dargah Amrot Sharif and have married Raza there," said Mehak Kumari, now Aliza. The girl, student of class 9, went missing after school on January 15. Since then, her parents have complained that she was kidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam.
