A wedding card of a Hindu girl and a Muslim man led to a controversy of love jihad and the wedding got canceled.
In Maharashtra`s Nashik, a wedding has led to a controversy due to which the wedding had to be canceled. A family was supposed to marry their daughter to a Muslim man. But as soon as the invitation card was printed and went viral the people were forced to cancel the wedding. The wedding card led to such a controversy that the matter went to Love Jihad. The family wanted to celebrate two hearts, two families, two religions but the society is yet set back.
Even though the function was canceled, the family members decided that they would continue to stand by their daughter’s choice. According to them, there was no attempt at forced conversion. And the marriage had already been registered in a local court.
The daughter named Rasika suffered from physical disability and the family had faced some difficulty in finding a match for her. Recently, she and Asif Khan, a former classmate, announced their desire to tie the knot. Since the two families knew each other for the past few years, they agreed to the match.
However, the function was to be held in the presence of close relatives at a Nashik hotel. But then, the father said, a copy of the invitation card got circulated in several WhatsApp groups, triggering protests, messages and calls, including from “strangers”, for the function to be cancelled.
