A new report at JihadWatch is highlighting the egregious case of a Muslim man accused of demanding that his Hindu girlfriend convert to Islam – or kill herself.
The charges pending against the man identified in reports only as Shahrukh are abetment of suicide.
"We’ve heard of the forced conversion of girls in India, about 1,000 a year, but abetting a suicide is sickeningly unique. It’s the usual story of supremacism, humiliation and coercion, but the case of a 24-year-old man who was arrested 'allegedly for abetting a woman to commit suicide after she refused to convert her religion and marry him' is more sinister," the report explained.
It explained, "Women matter little to Muslim men such as Shahrukh, since women are deemed inferiors in Islam, and even worse when they are infidels…."
A report from NDTV said the defendant was in a relationship with the victim, 24, whose name was not reported.
He is accused of giving her the option either to convert to Islam, or kill herself to avoid "social humiliation."
The report said the woman hanged herself in her home.
Her father, according to documents in the case, accused Shahruhk of "harassing and forcing his daughter to marry im as per Islamic rituals."
The father also reported Shahruhk also had his daughter's private photos and videos with which he threatened her.
The two reportedly met several years ago through a social networking site.
