AGRA: A 24-year-old

Muslim

woman,

from

Mathura

, adopted Hindu religion on Thursday, while claiming that women do not have any respect in Islam.

Soon after converting, Arshi filed an application with the SSP office claiming that she had taken the decision to convert to

Hinduism

on her own and because of her faith and love for Lord

Krishna

. Talking to the media, she said that her decision was influenced by the fact that "in Islam women have no respect".

Her statement that “while Hindus pray Goddess

Durga

, Laxmi and Sita, there is no place for women in Islam” is bound to invite the ire of the Muslim community and Mullanas.

She said that she had changed her name from Arshi to Arushi.
