There is a news today on December 10, 2017 in a national Hindi Daily ‘Dainik Jagran’ reporting that a woman of a different religion who married to a Hindu boy after changing her religion was beaten by her relatives and then was abducted just in front of the gate of the Delhi High Court, where she had come to attend her case for providing security to her and her husband against her relations. On the assault on her and abduction attempt, she raised an alarm and the security officers posted at the gate of the High Court rushed to rescue her. She was freed from the grip of the kidnappers and, it turned out, one of her assailants was her own maternal uncle. He was arrested on the spot. See the link of the newspaper:

This is not an isolated case of this type. Here is a list of other incidents of murder/harassment/kidnap/death threats perpetrated by Indian Muslims for the sole reason of a Muslim woman marrying/loving/dating a non Muslim, culminating in 16 Murders and leading to 3 suicides over the last 9 years. All these incidents happened in India within the time-frame of July 2008 to September 2017 and, in all probability, this list is not complete. This list is compiled only on the bases of the cases that were reported by newspapers.
In a democratic country where all its citizens – irrespective of their religions – are guaranteed equality of law, which is understood to the right of every citizen to have the equal protection of law and security against any threat or harassment actuated by any religious consideration, the State institutions must intervene with a heavy hands against such criminal elements, whoever they may be. India is not a theocratic country, like Pakistan, and must curb such behavior.
