| - "It is a fact that the two were in love. She knew that he was a Muslim and went to the court to marry him, [...] Now that we received a complaint of forceful conversion, we registered the case and made the arrest. Whether it is justified or not, is for the court to decide. In such cases, the girl's statement is sacrosanct." (en)
