Every year in India, at least a thousand young people are murdered by their own families for falling in love with the wrong person. For these lovers, who shun arranged marriages for love matches, there is only one resource to which they can turn: the love commandos.
This volunteer organisation is run out of a small room in a congested inner-city Delhi neighbourhood. They have no budget or formal structure – just a stong desire to modernise their country and end the honour killings.
Sapna is 23 and in love with Mazhar, a Muslim student. When her father, a rich Hindu, found out, decided she needed to be punished. She has been beaten, kidnapped, forcibly married and set on fire. Dozens of times, she’s nearly died. She’s lived in the Love Commandos refuge in Delhi for the past four months. It’s too risky for her to leave the shelter but she says she feels happy for the first time and is waiting for her marriage to be dissolve so that she can marry Mazhar.
Bhaskar and Pooja and Kartik and Ashia are also on the run from their families. We follow these three couples over several months and tell their stories. A surprising look at modern India.

Arranged marriages are afront to humanity

Hope karthik and Aysha have a wonderful life.
Also i wish Sapna and mazer all the happiness in the world and hope Mazer does not leave Sapna after everything she has been through. Peace
This is so absurd! Every society has issues. You are exaggerating the situation. In some cases these conditions are seen true, but these are very few cases. I wonder why you did not mention or shown inter caste or inter religion couple even living in live-ins. I had a friend happily married against her parent's wishes into inter faith marriage.she is a muslim and guy was a sikh. The Sikh family accepted the girl with open arms. Even the girl's family accepted them later on and i am talking about a tier 2 city. I am lawyer and we see ample of couple like this given police protection even honourable high court judges sorting these things out for couples. Just for showing a poor picture of India and getting some name for yourself showing India in negative light. How cheap initiative you guys!!
That was sad.. Im happy that my mother was really support me who am i marry. She was just advice me that i must be choice a man who trully love me and not hurt me emotionally and physically.. love u mama..
Religion is the number one cause of woes and wars in this world. 😑
I only hear South Asian honour killings from this country and Pakistan. What about Bangladesh? Sri Lanka?
❤❤❤
Lesson: Be rich and stable first thank me later
New sun new day,gods gift.😊
I am so happy and thankful to GOD that i was not born in India and that i have a toilet of where i live. It's a very frightening country where there are cannibals, weird beliefs, serial murderers and rapists 😢
I am glad to be an American because
We don't live their
Way so wrong
The second guy family made Asia feel welcome, loved, understood even if their marriage affects them that is so wholesome, makes you see the heart his whole family has she's lucky they are all like that even in that situation
My bf family seems not to like me and we are the same religion living in America😂
So happy for her❤❤❤
Omg I feel for these people why can't they just be left alone as !ing as they are happy the parents should be happy for them religion should not matter as there's only one God
PLEASE GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE COUPLES. CAN I HAVE THE ADDRESS OF THE HOUSE THAT HELPS THEM OR AN ADDRESS WHERE I CAN SEND THEM HELP FINANCIALLY. BLESSINGS FROM DALLAS TEXAS USA 🇺🇸
POOR SAPNA..I FEAR THAT SHE DIDN'T MAKE A GOOD CHOICE WITH THAT GUY BESIDE HER. I DON'T THINK HE HAS THE GUTS TO STAND AGAINST HIS FAMILY.. HE LOOKS SCARED.. PERHAPS HE IS A MAMA'S BOY.
I AM CRYING FOR THESE COUPLES… HOW CAN I HELP
IT SEEMS THAT INDIANS VALUE ANIMALS MORE THAN HUMAN LIVES.
THIS CASTE SYSTEM DOESNT BELONG IN 2024. IT WILL CHANGE SLOWLY ..BUT IT WILL CHANGE LOOK AT MY AMERICA. WHITES MARRIED TO BLACKS. .. NO BODY STARES, NOBODY GETS HUNG ON A TREE, , NOBODY GOES TO PRISON, NOBODY CARES . WE ARE BORN AND WE DIE…WHY NOT LIVE A JOYOUS PEACEFUL LIFE.. BLESSINGS TO ALL MANKIND.
inter caste marriages should be banned in india.
Its so easy for them to show Hindu Girl loving a muslim boy. But no one show the honor killing between muslim girl and hindu boy. But this documentary did little well. But the girls should never convert to the boys religion. Then theres no meaning in interreligious marriage. Any girls are manipulate by love to accept the boys religion. Thats reality.
I❤ Indian girls I wish to marry with beautiful north Indian girls ❤
Bagwa love trap sponsored by sangh parivar. I saw a leader from rss encourage their boys to marry Muslim girls and they will give money if any hindu boys marry a Muslim girl…
It is happen reverse they will call love jihad..
A Muslim women xannot a marry a kafir..
If they goes against their religion then their family should be abandon them because they disrespected them in every way, they chose lust over their family decision
So backward!.
TEA IS FANTASTIC!
I'm so fortunate that I was born without having go through this. I am Catholic and was born and raised here in the Philippines. And I was raised by a loving and understanding parents who would support me in everything I do. Like they always tell me to do what makes me happy and they dont want to interfere my own decisions because they are not holding my life. and im always thankful for that. whatver happens, they will be there.
Jai Shri Ram. Welcome to Ram Rajya. 🤮🤮🤮🤮
In western countries they will for anything there are wars and worst mindset people
How can you live happily by hurting your own parents Love is insist so selfish
Modi left his wife.
A Índia e um paradoxo sem fim ….prega a espiritualidade . Mas vivem estrupando . Serial killer tem muito na Índia ….preconceito com cor …pobre ..viúva..lgbt 😮😮horrível esse lugar ..e esses *crimes de honra numa ignorância sem fim
I wonder if they're okay now
People who fall in love should feel love and should be able to live who they want! Not force arrange marriage!
PURE EVIL
In India love is so struggle things you always have to choose a partner who have same caste same economic status and obviously same religion other wise 👄👁☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀☠️💀💀☠️💀☠️💀f**ked up.
Disgusting country.
Killing is disgusting yet why are you encouraging this decadent, stone-age and pseudo-westernized culture into India, We need to improve things but surely need only follow the good of the west and not the primitive dating, free-sex, gay culture, etc. into our sacred motherland. We need to follow our experienced parents and solid-traditions and not get greedy and go overboard and destroy our society. Nevertheless, the Indian culture in it pious and rich-form is bound to survive and not get adulterated.
As indian this is more than real
Especially in northern India.
Where gender segragation , hindu caste system , and religious extremism are much higher , they kill girls young 17-18 yr olds kids . I mean
Cow are much more safer then humans in india . So its pretty normal to us atleast . Im sad with the kind of mentality people have here is very unfortunate .
Not every culture is same some still stuck in stone age !
I rather love marriage not arranged marriage
Hinduphobia hai ye hindu ko neecha dekha rahe hinduo ek raho
Why don't you show other side of story???
If there is one case of Hindu girl getting killed for marrying a non Hindu then there are 1000s of case where non Hindu girls are murdered for marrying Hindu guys specially Muslims girls get killed the most
Love is emotional and is often among young people. Love used as a weapon to hurt another community such as love jihad is evil and should be stopped. Young girls lured by lies to snatch her parents properties and to increase the number of Muslims and hurt Hindu community is not love. It is jihad and it should be stopped.
You cannot convert to Hinduism.. 🕉️ only Abrahamic religions insist on conversion
my father was like this! I fought bk!
Luckily i live here in US
Welcome to India 🇮🇳, rape capital of the world, caste discrimination capital of the world, honor killings of the world.
All religion predictslove when you find your true love fight for it die for it. Caste culture habbits and home religion always stay within your heart ❤but accept whom you love all you love that's most important…Indian society need acceptance for new generations to come for progress of our country. Hatered will only fill pockets who created drama of caste creed and culture but not religion because all religion talk about peace sahanbuddhi
Omg the Hindu girl whose parents strangled her because she’s with a Muslim
Guy. Absolutely awful. India must work on their is1amaphobia.
This is very old clip this must be in 2010 or something
