The fake claim by the Hindu right that there is a “Love Jihad”organisation which is forcing Hindu women to convert to Islam through false expressions of love is similar to a campaign in the 1920s in north India against alleged “abductions”. Whether 1920 or 2009, Hindu patriarchal notions appear deeply entrenched in such campaigns: images of passive victimised Hindu women at the hands of inscrutable Muslims abound, and any possibility of women exercising their legitimate right to love and their right to choice is ignored.
Watch a discussion on the difficulties faced by couples, the Special Marriage Act and the issue of the myth of Love Jihad: DHANAK on Prime Time
Despite all efforts –
If you are unable to convince your family of your intent to marry the person of your choice
If you or your partner are fearful of being forced into a marriage with someone else
If you are fearful of honour crime
