Hindu woman converted before marriage, abandoned through triple talaq after years of manipulation

Undecided cases

Case Summary

A Hindu woman from Madhya Pradesh was drawn into a relationship by a Muslim man and was later converted to Islam before marriage. After the marriage, she left her home state and began living with him in Bareilly district, Uttar Pradesh. Several years later, she was left behind while her husband relocated to Madhya Pradesh. The marriage subsequently broke down after he pronounced triple talaq over a telephone call and refused to return unless she vacated the house. Approximately five years before the complaint was filed, the Hindu woman, a resident of the Singrauli region of Madhya Pradesh, came into contact with Amir Hasan Mansoori, a Muslim man from Ghanghora Ghanghori village in the Bhojipura area of Bareilly district. During this period, a relationship developed between them. The Hindu woman stated that Amir Hasan Mansoori subsequently converted her to Islam and married her. Following the marriage, he brought her to his native village in Uttar Pradesh, where she began residing with him and his family. After the marriage, the Hindu woman continued living in Bhojipura while her husband remained her primary point of support and maintenance. Over time, however, the relationship deteriorated. According to the information provided in the complaint, Amir Hasan Mansoori gradually distanced himself from her and eventually left the village for Madhya Pradesh. He remained away from the matrimonial home for several months, leaving the Hindu woman behind in the house where she had been living since her conversion and marriage. While staying in Madhya Pradesh, Amir Hasan Mansoori maintained contact with the Hindu woman by telephone. During this period, his associate, Attiq, who was also a resident of the same village, became involved in the dispute. The Hindu woman stated that Attiq encouraged and supported efforts to end the marriage. Thereafter, Amir Hasan Mansoori pronounced triple talaq to the Hindu woman during a telephone call from Madhya Pradesh. Following this, he informed her that he would not return to the house unless she left the property. The Hindu woman further stated that Attiq was lobbying for Amir Hasan Mansoori to enter into a second marriage. She also stated that her husband stopped sending money for her expenses and maintenance. In addition, he threatened to sell the house in which she was residing. As a result, the Hindu woman was left without financial support while continuing to reside in the village where she had moved after her conversion and marriage. The Hindu woman subsequently approached the police and filed a complaint against Amir Hasan Mansoori and Attiq. A case was registered against both men under relevant legal provisions. Bhojipura police commenced an investigation into the matter. Police officials confirmed that legal proceedings had been initiated on the basis of the complaint and stated that further action would be taken following the investigation.

Why it is Hate Crime ?

This case contains several elements commonly seen in predatory proselytisation cases, including the woman being lured into a relationship and subsequently converting to Islam before marriage. Such patterns have appeared in several previously documented cases involving Hindu women, where romantic relationships have been used as a means to facilitate religious conversion. The fact that the Hindu woman changed her religion before marriage is a significant religious marker and naturally raises questions about whether the relationship was entirely independent of religious considerations. Further, there is a documented precedent of cases where Muslim men have entered into relationships with Hindu women, secured their conversion, and later abandoned them after the conversion and marriage had taken place. The circumstances of the present case, where the woman was converted, married, and later divorced through triple talaq and left without support, naturally invite similar concerns. However, this case has been placed in the undecided category because the Hindu woman was an adult, and there is currently no clear evidence that her conversion was obtained through force, fraud, threats, or coercion. While the available facts resemble patterns seen in other cases of religious targeting, they do not conclusively establish that the accused entered the relationship primarily to secure her conversion or that she was targeted specifically because she was Hindu. Therefore, although the case contains concerning indicators, the presently available evidence is insufficient to definitively classify it as a religiously motivated hate crime. If more information emerges, the case will be reviewed and shifted to the 'hate crime' database. Disclaimer: The exact date of when the Hindu woman and the Muslim perpetrator first came into contact was not specified in the available sources. However, the year of initial contact was estimated to be around 2021. The tracker records incident dates based on when the crime occurred rather than when it was reported or published. In this case, 2nd June 2021 has been used as the indicative incident date, derived by aligning the known year with the article publication date of 2nd June 2026. This date has been recorded for documentation purposes only.
