A man from Rajasthan has accused his wife and mother-in-law of pressuring him to convert and getting him circumcised against his wishes.

The complainant, identified as Akhil Kumar Chandak, has filed an FIR at Bhangagarh Police Station against his 24-year-old wife, Nurshika Begum, and his mother-in-law, Nur Khatun.

According to media reports, Akhil met Nurshika in Delhi in 2019, and the couple later got married through a court marriage in Assam.

They reportedly lived together for nearly three years. Initially, there were no major disagreements over religion. However, Akhil alleged that problems began after his wife’s family and villagers came to know that he was Hindu.




He claimed that after a photograph of his wife wearing sindoor surfaced on Facebook, their interfaith marriage became known in the village, following which pressure on him to embrace Islam allegedly began.

According to Akhil’s complaint, around six months ago, his wife had returned to her village following a dispute between them.

Subsequently, his mother-in-law allegedly contacted him under the pretext of resolving their marital differences and asked him to come to Guwahati.

Akhil alleged that after reaching Jalukbari, two unidentified men picked him up in a vehicle, claiming to be relatives.

They allegedly took him towards the TV Tower area, where he was given an intoxicating substance. He claimed that while he was unable to resist, he was forcibly circumcised inside the vehicle.




Police have arrested his mother-in-law, Nur Khatun, while his wife, who is reportedly in Bengaluru, has been asked to join the investigation.

The case raises serious questions about individual consent & bodily autonomy.
Any attempt to force someone to undergo a medical procedure against their will deserves serious investigation, irrespective of the person’s gender or religious identity.
