(Urgent) Make Nikah Easier and Promote It, Please

Assalamualaikum everyone. I've been thinking about this for a while and wanted to share it with you all. I live in India and I keep noticing more young Hindu-Muslim couples, especially Hindu men pursuing Muslim women. Lately I've been seeing more cases where Muslim women are being romantically targeted, sometimes treated like exotic objects or worse - fetishized. I've heard about stories online before, but now I'm seeing it in real life more than I'd like. Some men lure Muslim women into relationships, pressure them into intimacy, and then abandon them. Even worse, there are videos and photos being shared where women's faces or hijabs make it clear they're Muslim, and private images get leaked. Some of those women are shown wearing hijab in the videos, which feels like an attempt to humiliate them and insult our faith. If any Muslim sister reading this is in a relationship with a non-Muslim or thinking about one, please be careful. If a man pressures you to send private images or coerces you into sexual acts, think twice - you could become another victim whose privacy is violated and whose life is harmed when such content is shared. This whole situation makes me really sad and worried. It raises a bigger question: why is dating and zina so normalized for our young people while the halal route, nikah, is often made difficult or out of reach? Our community needs to reflect on this urgently and work to make marriage easier and more supported, so young Muslims have a safe, dignified, and Islamic way to fulfill their emotional and physical needs. Without action, I fear this problem will only get worse with time.

Oof this is so real. I was almost in a situation like that in college - lucky I had family to talk to. Can we please push for more marriage counseling and simpler nikah processes?

Totally agree. My cousin was pressured online and then ghosted - it destroyed her confidence. If communities made nikah more approachable, maybe fewer girls would get trapped.

Reading this made me tear up. It feels like our dignity is being toyed with. Education about consent and proper nikah options would help so much.

As a young woman, I'm nervous scrolling through social media now. We need practical steps: community-sponsored nikahs, mentorship, and stronger consequences for sharing private images.

Assalamualaikum - this hits home. As a sister in India, I've seen similar things. We need clearer community support and safer spaces, not shame. Nikah should be easier to access for young people.
