Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government enacted new anti-conversion legislation<\/a> last month, aimed at preventing marriages between Muslim men and Hindu woman in the garb of combating \u2018love jihad\u2019 cases. The law says that religious conversion by \u2018coercion or temptation\u2019 will be considered a non-bailable offence. On December 19, Rashid (22) was released after spending two months in prison<\/a> following the testimony of the woman he was alleged to have forcefully converted that she married him willingly. In the midst of this, a video is being shared on social media with the claim that it shows an incident of \u2018love jihad\u2019. The clip shows a woman shouting at a man.<\/p>\n

Facebook user \u2018Hindu Tappu\u2019 posted this clip and wrote, \u201cA salute to this woman for perfectly explaining the real meaning of love jihad. Their aim is to increase their population through this. Hindu girls, beware.\u201d It received 1,500 views at the time of writing. (Archive link<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Fact-check<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Alt News performed a reverse image search of a few frames from the viral video and found that it was tweeted on December 11, 2020<\/a>. Twitter user \u2018@KDJhaMRA\u2019 had quote-tweeted an earlier tweet from August 4, 2019. This 2019 tweet stated<\/a> that a woman named Shabnam Sheikh runs the Help Care Foundation in Mumbai. Based on this information, we found the Facebook page<\/a> of the organisation. On December 2, 2018, the page shared a 28:33-minute long video. The viral clip has been cropped from here.<\/p>\n

The woman sitting on the chair and shouting at others is Shabnam Sheikh. She is trying to mediate a quarrel between a married couple. According to the clip, the husband and wife\u2019s names are Fatima and Imran, which establishes that they belong to the same religion. The cropped portion used for the viral video appears towards the end of the longer clip. Shabnam also uploaded the video on YouTube.<\/p>\n
