Ludhiana Woman Alleges Forced Religious Conversion and Dowry Harassment by In-Laws
A woman from Ludhiana, Punjab, has accused her husband and in-laws of concealing their Christian faith before marriage, pressuring her to convert from Hinduism to Christianity, and harassing her over dowry. She married Karanveer Singh Siddhu through Hindu rituals, but her father-in-law later demanded her conversion. A video shows her baptism during the alleged forced conversion. The woman also alleges her husband was unfaithful. An FIR has been filed following these complaints, though the claims remain unverified.
