A Delhi woman has detailed a multi-year ordeal in an FIR, accusing a man named Faheem and his family of kidnapping, gang rape, forced conversion, and operating a prostitution ring during her captivity.
In an X post published on 21st April, Arfa Khanum Sherwani described the term Love Jihad as "a profound insult to the dignity and intelligence of Hindu women”. She framed the issue as “communal propaganda” meant to “control women” and strip them of their autonomy.
A case of love jihad has been reported from Ratlam, where a man allegedly used a fake Hindu identity to trap a woman in a relationship. After pressuring her to divorce her husband, he refused marriage and threatened her life. Police have registered an FIR and begun investigation.
