Muslim cricket star Usman Khawaja's fiancée, 22, reveals why she converted to Islam

I assume you are referring to the fact that in interfaith marriages involving Jews, the non-Jewish partner usually converts to Judaism. It is not surprising to hear, considering Judaism is even more self-righteous than Islam, since you have to be among the chosen ones to be a Jew, and the process of conversion is complicated.

On the other hand, Islam is less discriminatory and is open to everyone.

Well that point

Conversion just so parents can save face isn’t “almost always reserved for Muslims”

Firstly, you can look at my previous in this thread and you will see the word "mostly" in almost every post of mine. Of course, there are exceptions, but this is how it usually goes in interfaith marriages:

Muslim women marrying non-Muslim men is quite rare, but Muslim men marrying non-Muslim women happens frequently.

The non-Muslim women either converts or does not. However, the opposite (the Muslim man converting) happens very rarely.

Considering the disproportionality, it is clear that it is not just a matter of personal preference or freedom of choice. Considering the self-righteousness of Islam and how averse Muslims generally are to embracing another faith, it is obvious that the burden of conversion mostly falls on the non-Muslim partner, who is usually a female, since it is rare for a Muslim women to marry a non-Muslim man.

It is quite disingenuous to deny the persuasion and the influence that takes place, which again, is not the same as being coerced into it. No one is accusing Usman or other Muslim wen for forcing their wife into conversion.

How do you know it is disproportional?

I think it is pretty clear that Atheists, Islamophobes, and Anti-Pakistan posters have a problem with the OP - no one else.

Patriarchy. But this isn't a case of patriarchy. It is a person of weaker faith moving to a stronger faith.

'A lot of times a lot of the hate I get is from other Muslims on social media,' he said.

'We will put up a photo of us two, and it will be like, "Oh she's not Muslim. That's haram, you can't marry her"

this is why social media data sharing and no more privacy is ok with me. These type of people need to be kept under monitor

Dharmic and abrahamic faiths have different marriage laws in India. You also have a "special marriage act" which is used for Inter faith & Inter caste marriages and doesn't require people to be from same religion/caste.

Thanks for that insight. However what if a couple marrys under both religions like many bollywood film stars, I wonder which law they will fall under then
