      ab: The article focuses on the challenges faced by interfaith couples in India, particularly highlighting the experiences of Rekha, a Hindu woman, and Aatish, a Muslim man, as they navigate societal and familial opposition to their marriage. Despite their long-standing relationship, they encountered significant backlash, including threats from extremist groups like the Bajrang Dal, which is known for its violence against interfaith unions. The article discusses the broader context of Hindu majoritarianism under the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the societal myths surrounding interfaith relationships, such as the concept of "love jihad." It also emphasizes the support provided by organizations like Dhanak, which assists interfaith couples in overcoming legal and social obstacles to their marriages.
