Her brother tried to kill her because Islamic law forbids Muslim women to marry non-Muslim men. She violated Islamic law, and thus could be counted a hypocrite or apostate, worthy to be killed.
An update on this story. “My brother tried to hang me twice, says wife of Dalit man killed by her Muslim family for honour,” India Today, May 6, 2022:
B Nagaraju and Syed Ashrin Sultana were well aware that their love posed extraordinary danger to their own safety. Even before they tied the knot, they were no strangers to threats and attempts on their lives, not by strangers but their own loved ones.

“Before my marriage, my brother tried to kill me. He tried to hang me twice,” Sultana said in an interview to a news channel.

I’m sure this poor woman is still in danger.

This is orthodox Islam, nothing “radical” about it. And prosecuting Jihad terror is not persecution.
Devasur says
Yet to the media pimps Hindus are the oppressors and Muslims are the victims. International media didn’t even cover this news as they cover Islamic terrorists as victims which would put a dent in their islamophobia narrative.
