UP Man Converts to Hinduism to Marry Muslim Woman

A Muslim man converted to Hinduism to marry his girlfriend

In a heartwarming story from Basti, a 34-year-old Muslim man made the decision to convert to Hinduism in order to marry his girlfriend of 10 years. The man, previously known as Saddam, changed his name to Shivshankar in order to tie the knot with his beloved.

A story of love overcoming obstacles

According to the SHO of Kotwali police station, Devendra Singh, the couple had been in a relationship for a decade, despite facing challenges due to their different religious backgrounds. The woman, who is around 30 years old, had been pressuring Saddam to marry her, but his family was not supportive of the union.

The woman took drastic measures

Three days prior to their marriage, the woman filed a case against Saddam and his family, accusing them of rape, forcing her to have an abortion, and threatening her life. This led to a police investigation and the registration of a case against Saddam and his family.

Love conquers all

Despite the legal hurdles, the couple was determined to be together. They decided to get married in a temple in the city market, following Hindu customs. Saddam officially changed his name to Shivshankar Soni as they exchanged vows and took the seven rounds around the sacred fire.

A happy ending

Both Saddam and his now-wife expressed that they had made the decision to marry of their own free will. They shared with the police that their love had endured for a decade, and they were finally able to start their life together as a married couple.

The power of love and commitment

This story serves as a reminder of the power of love and commitment. Despite facing societal norms and legal challenges, the couple stood by each other and made the ultimate decision to spend their lives together. Their story is a testament to the fact that love knows no boundaries and can overcome all obstacles.
