Late Wajid Khan’s wife reveals pressure from in-laws to convert: ‘Couldn’t be a family due to his and his family’s religious fanaticism’

Late music composer Wajid Khan’s wife, clinical hypnotherapist Kamalrukh Khan, has shared a long note revealing how her in-laws were harassing her for not converting to Islam. Kamalrukh says that her two kids—a 16 year old daughter and a nine-year-old son—are being denied their inheritance because she refused to convert her religion.

Kamalrukh shared the note on Instagram on Saturday and has got support from Kangana Ranaut as well. She spoke about the anti-conversion bill and how she connects to the issue due to what she and her kids have had to face.

Kamalrukh said that she and Wajid were ‘college sweethearts’ who got married under the Special Marriages Act. She is a Parsi and he, a Muslim, and the act allowed them to get married while practising their own religions. But she started getting pressure from his family to convert and when she refused, it caused a wide rift in her relationship with him and even ‘affected his ability’ to be a father to their kids.

I wouldn’t be replying to this topic.

It is heart rending to read about plight of women who come under pressure to convert. First these women have to face resistance from their own families for inter-faith marriage. Then they have to live under fear of retaliation from her husband’s family whom she trusted to protect her. Can’t imagine the state of mind of kids on not getting acceptance & love just on the basis of their religion.

We should be more considerate towards plight of women & children. Regardless of X religion to X religion any pressure to convert should be discouraged. This woman is educated with a job in Mumbai imagine the state of women in rural areas without job or financial freedom.
