Summary/Abstract |
This paper explores media coverage of instant ‘triple talaq’—a form of divorce practised by some Indian Muslims—and ‘love jihad’—a supposed trend of Muslim men coercing Hindu women into conversion and marriage. The Hindu Right position itself as champions of gender justice in the context of outlawing instant triple talaq, but in discussions of ‘love jihad’ sideline women’s rights (to choose their own religion and spouse) and focus on national security. This reveals the strategic use of women’s rights by the Hindu Right to further entrench its imagination of a secular Hindu nation threatened by the Muslim man.

Summary/Abstract |
Muslims, particularly clerics, should address such double standards in the treatment of women. It is only one of the jihadists’ many hypocrisies that they would promote outrage over the arrest of “their” women while simultaneously targeting “other” women for assassination and slavery. As women increasingly shift to a more active role in politics and conflict, some might consider this development an expression of greater agency. The overall picture suggests that these women continue to be used by men, both jihadists and those in government, to their own ends.
