The Qur’an forbids Muslim women to marry “idolaters”: “Do not marry idolatresses until they believe, for indeed, a believing slave woman is better than an idolatress, even though she pleases you. And do not give your daughters in marriage to idolaters until they believe, for indeed, a believing slave is better than an idolater, even though he pleases you. These people invite you to the fire, and Allah invites you to the garden, and to forgiveness by his grace, and explains his signs to mankind so that perhaps they will remember.” (Qur’an 2:221)
This means in practice that Hindu women are expected to convert to Islam if they marry Muslim men. Anjali did not. The assault was the result.
“Kerala: Interfaith couple attacked by Islamists after Hindu wife refuses to follow Islamic customs, flees to a nearby temple for safety,” OpIndia, August 26, 2024:
In Kerala’s Kasaragod, Abdul Nizamuddin and his wife Anjali were allegedly summoned to the mosque, where they were assaulted. Nizamuddin claimed in his police report that he escaped by seeking refuge in a nearby temple.
Abdul Nizamuddin and Anjali, who operate an IT firm in Manjerwat, were called to the mosque under the guise of addressing a workplace issue with Rafeeq, a relative and fellow employee. However, tensions rose when Anjali entered the mosque without wearing a veil and without converting to Islam, which angered the congregation.
The couple was attacked, with accusations that Nizamuddin had taken a Hindu woman into the mosque with other Hindus. Anjali reported being struck on the head and humiliated. As the situation escalated, the couple fled to a nearby temple for safety.
The attackers also vandalised their car, smashing the windows, and circulated a video of the beating, claiming it was punishment for blasphemy….

That should teach all those secular people, who think that just b’cos they love everybody, everybody loves them. Why did he have to take his wife to the mosque? He could have gone himself, or actually refused: demanded that they meet at a commercial place, where there would be no ban on her being there
More to the point, non-muslims who marry muslims are morons. They should insist that their would-be spouses apostatize before they agree to marry. Even that ain’t enough, since there are a lot of cases of muslims feigning apostasy, only to years later expose themselves and worse yet, trying to convert their spouses
