Anatomy of "Love Jihad" in Bharat (India)
Radhika Gopinatha dasa
Professor of Vedic Theology and Religious Studies: Present society needs a new paradigm of devotion to God.
"Love jihad" is a term used to describe a process by some Moslim men to convert Hindu women to Islam through marriage or romantic relationships in a country, Bharat.
Stages of the Love jihad phenomenon:

How to put an end to this cycle? Let's see what A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada says:
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, commonly known as Srila Prabhupada, was a prominent spiritual leader, scholar, and the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
Throughout the Srimad-Bhagavatam, and his lectures, Srila Prabhupada emphasizes the importance of getting married at an early age. It is Krishna's recommendation, and He has very good reasons for it. In Teachings of Lord Kapila (text 5), Srila Prabhupada explains in simple words: "Generally a man should marry at around twenty-five years of age, and a girl should marry no later than sixteen. If this is the case, when the man is fifty years old, his eldest son should be around twenty-five, old enough to take charge of the mother."Again, in a letter to Trivikrama dasa, dated 7 March, 1970, Srila Prabhupada expresses a similar point:"Married life does not mean that one should continue to live with the wife throughout the whole life; at a certain stage, say between 20-25 years, one may accept a wife, live with her to the maximum age of 50 years, and then there should be no more sex relationship - stringently."The varnashrama system is an ideal arrangement by which human beings can receive an opportunity to perfect their lives by reaching detachment from material sense gratification and attachment to Krishna in pure bhakti, thus returning back to Godhead. However, it requires that we follow the suggested time line so that family duties are significantly reduced by the time we reach 50 years of age, allowing us to move on to the next ashrama - vanaprastha - the retired order of life. As a rule, girls mature much earlier than boys, at the age of 17 or 18; especially if a girl grows up in Krishna consciousness, she will be mature enough to become a mother and wife, and will desire to play those roles.? For this reason, we can understand why it is very natural for a girl to want a man next to her; however, it should be her husband - not a boy-friend, as it is common nowadays".
"As a rule, girls mature much earlier than boys, at the age of 13; especially if a girl grows up in Krishna consciousness, she will be mature enough to become a mother and wife, and will desire to play those roles.? For this reason, we can understand why it is very natural for a girl to want a man next to her; however, it should be her husband - not a boy-friend, as it is common nowadays. This is not to say that a girl of this age must immediately marry, live together with her husband, and serve as a wife. She may prefer to receive further education or learn a profession, before entering family life. However, if her mind is fixed on one boy with whom she will marry one day, she will be protected from the danger of engaging in illicit relationships with other men. Her mind will be peaceful, because she already knows who her husband will be when she does get married.A boy matures later, around 25 years of age. Then he will be ready to accept the responsibilities necessary to become a husband and father. At a younger age, he will likely not be sufficiently mature, preferring instead to superficially engage with girls without making a serious commitment. In this way, Krishna's system suggests that the boy and girl have an age difference of around 5 to 10 years. A young person's mind is more flexible and therefore can easily adjust to new circumstances. This is especially important for a girl - signing the marriage contract, she promises that she will follow and assist her husband in his mood. The longer a woman has lead an independent life, the more set she will be in her ways, making it more difficult for her to adjust to his mood and ways of doing things. Fixing the girl's and boy's mind on a particular spouse at an early age cultivates chastity - especially on the part of the girl - and also avoids sexual contact outside of marriage".
What Sri Mohammed achieved through might of the sword in making people in middle east into moslims has now degenerated to social media and dating sites(bumble) being infiltrated by people with an agenda to change demographics.

Immediate solution:
Marry Hindu girls and boys earlier in Bharat so that the supply of marriage age Hindu girls is cut off for the people with an agenda.
HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami wrote a book called Mothers and Masters and delves into this topic more deeply. [2]
Central Idea: People often pursue careers based on external factors like money or prestige, neglecting their natural skills and passions. This leads to unhappiness and a lack of quality work.
Key Points:
Conclusion:
No need to fall victim to Love Jihad. You can marry off daugthers sooner to a boy following Sanatana Dharma. Then they enter Grihasta Ashrama for serving and glorifying Krishna.

7 个月But at 16 is not practicable in this time and age where single daughters too have many obligations to themselves and their parents. Awareness regarding one's dharma and its practice, induce a non-conversion attitude naturally. That solution is more practical and wise for love jihad than "marrying off early"
