'Love jihad', right to choose your partner & firecracker ban

#KnowYourConstitution
This past week on #ThePrintKYC or Know Your Constitution, Apoorva Mandhani told you about a case that came to be known as the “love jihad case” back in 2017-18, before the Supreme Court stepped in and emphasised on the Constitutional right of a person to choose who they want to marry.

We also told you about the story of firecracker ban in India, and about a recent Madhya Pradesh high court judgment which ruled that producing suspects before the media or displaying their photographs in newspapers and social media violates Article 21 of the Constitution.

I'm not Bjp supporter at all, but I have a little thought that"love is between two people not two religion, but why religion change after marriage?if religion can be changed then it's not love, it's kind of manipulation, why girls change their religion, this is kind of patriarchy system, according to me if there is an inter -religion marriage between two people, then one should not force the other person to change her religion mentally, emotionally and physically"
# the best solution is respect each other religion after marriage🙏😊

I'm Satya and married a muslim. She follows her religion and we live happily. My parents never forced her to change her religion. My grandmother she was a muslim too.

What about Nikita Tomar case where was your constitution ? Or when DU student was murdered in cold blood in daylight.????

[maskarthi]

Secularism is a one way street for some, poor argument

[shrinivaskoppal]

The Islamic Shariath never recognise any Constitution of any country, and here at The Print, they are quoting the provisions of our Noble Constitution,
What an irony

[theanthropologist]

You have the complete freedom to choose your lover but you don't have the freedom to hide your real name/identity, marry the person and then reveal your true identity post marriage and force the person to convert after marrying. I hope people see the difference between the two

[ranjitkhangar]

Why u r giving hadiya eg why not Rahul Rajput, Nikita tomar and hundreds of other people force to convert in name of marriage.

[dineshmanoharan]

Well the problem with love Jihad is the muslim will not change his religion for love but ask the partner to change the religion to islam.
Muslims mostly are fundamentalists.

[aishasharma]

Hi all I am a Hindu and I married a Muslim woman and she is not converted into Hinduism and stay back on Islam. Later after 1 years and after Studying Vedas and Sri Bhagavad Gita she her self asked and converted into Hinduism. I said as such there is no system of conversation. She practice all Hindu Rituals and Prayers to Creator NARAYANA.
Her parents and relatives not accepted but in some or other way we managed them and living Happily. Hindu muslims unity zindabad

Love jihad is indeed a very serious issue.
Many girls are suffering from this menace.

[kallachi]

Tolerance is multilateral and not unilateral, as in any marriage!

[Nitishkumar]

Now-a-days, journalist think that they have very high knowledge of everything.

[shalinijennifer]

I'm a Christian girl and I love a muslim boy, there family is good, can I marry and live happy in there family? Bcz of this government I'm scared to live in this society. They may not leave us to live peacefully. Not all Muslim's are bad and not all Christian's & Hindu's are good.

In hadiya case her father never cared about her conversion , I think he is not a religious guy, he wanted his daughter to be safe, there is audio tapes of her saying that, "she is interested to going to syria ".That's why High court ruled in favour of her father . Print should've done more research on this

[imagine]

These are nonsense. There are a few cases, bigots Select partner of other faith and force them to convert. In a sensible world of humans, you love some and live as it’s, one thing sure if one loves the person in the real sense then he or she will not force them to convert. Converting is ridiculous, if then you should go after your faith options only!

[ishanshrivastav]

Besharamo aagye aukkat ka samarthan krne jb apne ghr ki behan beti k sath aisa hoga tb jihad exists

[oliverqueen]

Hadiya case is very different, most people don't know what exactly happened .
It was not a so called love jihad case, first she was converted (by brainwashing ? )to islam and left her house and joined an islamic institution (?) called 'Sathya sarani', the institution was like islamic education center for girls, but later her father found out that she was ready to go to syria, there is audio tapes of her saying this, her father was not against her conversion to islam or her marriage, in fact he was an atheist, not a follower of hindu religion but her mother was . The marriage was not the basis of her conversion, but after that marriage was used as a tool to strengthen her conversion, or marriage was used to split her from her family .

[adityaswaroop]

Love jihad is far away related to the right to choose your partner irrespective of any relegion . Love jihad is a term defined for a relegion that exerts pressure on practice of forceful conversion to their relegion for the marriage or threaten to convert in their relegion so that they can marry.. I can totally understand that it didn't fits to your agenda . But it exists...!

[aradhyakukreja]

Crisp an apt analysis!
Kudos to Print and Apoorva
