"I have experienced trauma of abuse since last 16 years. It will take years for me to forget about it. Every day I console myself saying those days are over now. Till date, some people tell me that it was all my fault and I still fight for that today. At the age of 16 I left to Bangalore from Assam to study. My first relationship was with a Muslim boy there. I used to think, like my parents, he used to abuse me for my good," Rinima Borah recounted.
"At times I used to call him Taliban for the way he treated me. He used to brutally beat me up. I was made to eat beef. I remember the day when they made me forcibly have beef. His parents forced me to consume beef. Are you understanding? Yes, this is almost love jihad," she further revealed.
In addition to this abuse, Rinima revealed that her name was changed to Ayesha Hussain from Rinima Borah as part of an effort to further control her identity. "They made me do namaaz too," she added, recalling how she was coerced into practicing religious rituals against her will.
The abuse took a dangerous turn when her ex-partner threatened her with violence, warning her that if she ever left him, he would throw acid on her. Despite the terrifying threats and torment, Rinima eventually found the strength to break free from the relationship and rebuild her life.
