Uttar Pradesh : Muslim woman embraces Sanatan Dharma, marries Hindu partner

  • Family opposes the marriage

  • Bride seeks police protection after the wedding

Anam Ansari and Adarsh Sharma

Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh) – In a case from Ladpur Usmanpur village, a Muslim woman named Anam Ansari embraced Sanatan Dharma and married her Hindu partner, Adarsh, from Pilibhit. After conversion, she adopted the name Annu Sharma.

Following the interfaith marriage, the woman approached the police seeking protection, citing threats and fear for her safety, as her family had vehemently opposed the union.

Anam Ansari said that she met Adarsh Sharma a few months ago through social media, and their friendship soon turned into love. When the couple decided to marry, her family objected strongly. Consequently, Anam left her home and began living with Adarsh.

She later embraced Sanatan Dharma and married Adarsh Sharma at a Shiva temple in Bareilly, following traditional Hindu rituals. Anam shared that she feels deep devotion for Shrikrushna and Radharani and intends to worship Them daily with faith and dedication.
