Karnataka orders CID probe on ‘love jihad’

By TwoCircles.net Staff Correspondent,
Kochi: The Karnataka government has ordered for a probe by the Criminal Investigation Department to know whether an organisation called ‘love jihad’ was functioning in the state. The decision was taken in the high level meeting of police officers presided over by the state Home Minister VS Acharya.
The DGP and the CID will conduct a detailed probe and submit report to the government in two weeks. More information would be collected about the existence, alleged funding and support of the ‘love jihad’. The DGP would collect more information on the missing girls also. Further decisions as to how to curb the forced conversions, if any, would be taken after the reports are submitted.
The Karnataka High Court had ordered the government to probe into the matter of the alleged ‘love jihad’ when hearing the habeas corpus filed by the parents of a girl from Mysore. The girl had married a Muslim boy from Kannur in Kerala and had converted to Islam. When produced in court, the girl had reportedly said that she had converted on her own will, yet the court asked her to be sent with her parents and to conduct an investigation on her husband. The girl has to live with her parents till the investigation on the boy is completed.
In Kerala also, two girls who had converted to Islam and married Muslim boys were sent with their parents by the High Court when the girls’ parents filed habeas corpus. The Court ordered probe into alleged ‘love jihad’ when considering the case. The state DGP submitted areport in the court on October 22 stating that such an organisation did not exist. The Central Intelligence Bureau also has informed the Kerala High Court yesterday that there was no evidence for a movement called ‘love jihad’ in the state.
Meanwhile, the People’s Union for Civil Liberties has decided to oppose the order of the High Court in the Supreme Court. The PUCL maintains that the HC decision to send the woman, who had converted to Islam and married a Muslim, with her Hindu parents was not right.

Love jihad?
Muslim boys from kannur are good looking and handsome. I wouldnt be surprised if a hindu girl has fallen for those guys. If it is love then hats off to them. Marraige systems in India need to be more matured. Its the time to say good bye to religion, caste etc....
Competition
The race to compete with Pakistan on misrule seems to have gripped India. While for Pakistan, there are many scholars like Dr Israr Ahmad, who talks openly about abolition of death penalty on murder or stoning on rape, due to absence of system to implement the society and hence relative law, we in India do not have any of them. The many people who have set up shops like Ravi Shenkar or Reamdev baba, are more intent on marketing their thoughts than allowing people to question their standing. Even if we have many of Muslim scholars of Dr Ahmad type, they are shouted down because of being Muslims or Islamic.
Law is supposed to be common to all human beings but people think otherwise. Nobody celebrates rape but here in out country, rape is celebrated except in case the victim is a well to do woman. Murder too is a celebration if you happen to be a poor person.
The sheer materialism determines how 'humane' one is while humanity suffers. Instead of stuffing democracy in countries and sentencing those who do not fall in that line, one would be well off if policing by the so called promoters of democracy is stopped. A mere statute is not enough for this. The insensitive directions in case of so called love-jihad by the two HCs is highly irregular and frightening as he last step is only the Supreme court. If the apex court too is falling in line with the dictats of the 'street judges', India falls to dogs. Where is the secular, civil society we talk so much about?
Nuqqad
You talk too much, too big.
No Josh
Talking less does not make you a lesser devil. I read your racist, communal remarks on contribution of Muslims and Christians to India. Why to talk to the people who have sealed their minds after filling garbage. I do not hate people just by knowing their faith. May be, being Muslim, I fear for Allah's wrath, even for hating one. May be one day he proves to be better human being than I am. Being just is very difficult and I try to practice it. The arrogance is reserved for the Creator, mind your thoughts Joshi.
“Love Jihad”, an
“Love Jihad”, an imagination of bereaved parents and politicians
May Almighty’s blessing and protection be showered on you.
Over the ages people from different religions have fallen in Love, many of them have set examples of true love and sacrifices.
In Christianity and Islam, you are not allowed to marry outside your religion. The marriage can be solemnized only when both are of the same religion. Hence people from these communities always try to convert their lovers before marrying them. It is not their objective to achieve conversion by this method, but to gain acceptance of their lovers by their parents and the community. There have been love affairs lasting 5-8 years too, before one of them convert to solemnize their marriage. Isn’t 5-8 years too big a duration to achieve one measly conversion? And do they not get bonded for life? In the same duration of 5-8 years, a pious and righteous Muslim can achieve maybe about 20-30 conversions if she/he devout the same time to spreading Islam.
It may be true, a Muslim boy who has married a converted girl is given financial aid by some organization. It may also be true, that Muslim boy was disowned by his parents for marrying a converted girl and hence some organizations came forward to fund him to start off life. These cannot be taken as a reward for “Love Jihad”.
I find this term ‘Love Jihad” term penned by a few people for their specific requirement.
Be it politicians who want to gain political mileage or bereaved parents who have lost or may lose a daughter to a Muslim boy.
Our constitution gives, Right to religion and there is also Right to Freedom to marry anybody of your Will after achieving the legal age for marriage.
A frustrated, desperate parent of an Adult Hindu girl who is in Love with a Muslim boy cannot take resort to legal or police action as our Constitution protects the Lovers.
Then what does the parent do? They turn an absolute legal issue into a criminal issue by resorting to this term “Love Jihad”. By freely using this term in the complaint lodged at a police station, they are giving a free hand to the cops to drag the girl, boy and his family to the police station, which otherwise would not have been possible as they would be protected by the Indian Constitution.
At the Police station, the boy can be coerced, threatened or tortured in agreeing to break the love affair or even divorce the girl if they have already married or even give a false statement implicating himself as a case of “Love Jihad”. Even the girl can be threatened and coerced to come back to her parents house.
The cops can even obtain a court order to raid any religious place which other wise would not have been possible, on the pretext of “Love Jihad” case, and that the boy is hiding the girl inside. Whereas the girl might be admitted there with her consent to learn the ways of Islam
All this can be achieved only when the matter turns into a criminal issue. “Love Jihad” term is nothing but a tool to BYPASS a Constitutional Right.
