Why it is Hate Crime ?

In this case, the mother of a 25-year-old Hindu woman had filed a police complaint stating that her daughter was lured away by a Muslim man named Mohammad Aman, also known as Qayyum. According to her statement, the man enticed her daughter with financial incentives and other promises, subsequently forcing her to convert to Islam against her will. She further stated that her daughter was then forcibly married to him in a Nikah ceremony, an Islamic marriage ceremony. As per the complaint, the entire sequence, from elopement to religious conversion and marriage, was carried out through coercion and undue influence. It is important to highlight that at Hinduphobia Tracker, we have documented several similar incidents where Hindu women and underage Hindu girls have been lured by Muslim men, coerced into converting to Islam, and subsequently subjected to exploitation. In such cases, the intent behind such actions is a deep-rooted religious bias and animosity against the victims and their Hindu identity. The practice of feigning love and proposing marriage is, in these instances are used as a means to pursue the underlying goal of religious conversion. Such acts constitute clear examples of religiously motivated crimes. Therefore, the mother’s claims in this case cannot be dismissed outright, particularly in light of existing patterns where Hindu women and minor girls are selectively targeted, exploited, and forcibly converted by Muslim men. However, in this particular case, it is also essential to consider that the woman in question is an adult. As an adult, she is fully capable of making her own decisions regarding personal relationships and religious beliefs. As a 25-year-old woman, she holds the legal right to choose her partner, adopt a religion of her choosing, and marry whomever she wishes, provided that all actions are consensual and without duress, deception or coercion. Given her adult status, it is entirely possible that she acted of her own accord, without coercion. The mother’s account, while important, should therefore not be taken at face value without any statements from the victim herself. Emotional distress could influence the statements of the victim's parents in such scenarios. At Hinduphobia Tracker, we adhere to strict parameters before classifying any incident as a religiously motivated hate crime. In this case, considering the woman is an adult and no direct evidence of force or coercion has yet emerged, nor has any statement been made by the woman herself, we are placing this incident in our 'Undecided' database. If any new information comes to light indicating that conversion and marriage were carried out under pressure, threat or coercion, we will re-evaluate the case and accordingly add it to our hate crime database.
