Is Love Jihad really happening in Bharat, or is it a hoax?

“Is love jihad really happening in India, or is it a hoax?” This question was raised on the social media platform Quora. A Quora user has given a detailed answer to this question quoting many media reports and news-bytes, which we reproduce in an edited form with some additional incidents below:


Love Jihad is not a myth.

  • Mohammad Shafi from Kerala raped 30 Hindu girls. He had opened fake profile on matrimonial websites posing as a Hindu NRI doctor. He would meet those girls in best hotels, the girls thought he came from abroad to meet them. He watched some old Malayalam movies and made a cruel plan. He used to give them drugged food. When the girls lost consciousness he had sex with them and recorded it, then would blackmail them for money. He exploited 30 girls. He confessed that he considered raping Muslim girls as a sin. He didn’t consider rape of Hindu women as a sin.

  • Manasi Patra – A deaf and dumb poor Dalit girl from West Bengal is also not safe. There was no coverage in any media. Only a court document from a government website exists.

The following cases don’t strictly fall under the category of ‘Love Jihad’ or sexual grooming by Muslim men using deception and/or coercion, but nevertheless show the dangerous fallout of such relationships-

  • Ex-TV producer Suhaib Ilyasi murdered his wife Anju Ilyasi. Anju’s mother revealed that their marriage was not a love marriage but a case of Love Jihad. He forced her to convert and also wear Burqa. He was sentenced to prison for life, but Delhi High Court recently acquitted him.

Every week many cases come out, I can’t keep track of all of them, or spend time investigating whether any of them were ‘fake cases’. When a crime takes place in big cities, it gets some media coverage. But crimes in small villages gets coverage in local media only. I can’t read all Bharatiya languages. So the exact number of cases are far more.

Hindutva groups sometimes harass every Muslim man-Hindu woman couple, irrespective of whether the relationship is between two consenting adults or not. But it is also hard to ignore the fact that while a relation might really be mutually consenting at the outset, it can turn ugly later on when the girl discovers the man’s true identity or has second thoughts and wants to end the relation.

All Muslim men are not bad.  Some Muslim men are wrongly accused of Love Jihad, which gives an excuse to liberals to say ‘Love Jihad is a myth’.

The answer to “What is Love Jihad?” is ambiguous. There are various crimes where Hindu girls become victims and the accused is her Muslim boyfriend or Muslim husband. Some Muslim boys and men use fake Hindu name to start relations with Hindu girls. Some Hindus girls are murdered by their stalker who happened to be Muslim.

But I haven’t seen many cases where Muslim girls were killed by their Hindu boyfriend or Hindu husband or Hindu stalker.

There is obviously an anti-Hindu mindset among some Muslims which we are trying to ignore for the sake of peace, as Hindus by & large try to avoid confrontation or violence. There are some Muslim men who deliberately target Hindu girls and become violent when rejected.

HinduPost Staff Note:

We at HinduPost have also covered around 100 Love Jihad and 70 Rape Jihad cases over the last few years, which represent just the tip of the iceberg as far as this problem goes. To still remain in denial about this evil is wilful ignorance or utter cowardice.
