A 20-year-old Muslim man in Delhi has been charged by the police over his wife's allegations that she was forced to convert after their wedding in May and harassed by her in-laws. "His family forced me to change my religion to Islam. I was forced to wear a burqa and offer namaz. His father tried to sexually harass me," the woman has alleged in a complaint filed on Monday.

The woman says she met the man when he rented a room at her parents' home late last year. At the time, she says, he did not reveal his religion and claimed he had no family. After a few months, when the two grew close, the man introduced her to his family living in another part of Delhi. The revelation led to a confrontation, after which the accused man assured her she "would not be forced to change her religion".
