This is a photo of a man wearing a skullcap and a girl in a burqa. The duo is wearing garlands around their necks. Last year, it was claimed that the man got married to his nine-year-old daughter. A verified Twitter handle ‘@rakesh_bstpyp’ shared this picture with this claim. This user describes himself as an ‘editor of a newspaper’. The tweet amassed over 1,300 retweets before it was deleted.

One Lalita Thakur also tweeted the photo and accompanying claim. Her Twitter bio states that she is a Modi supporter. The viral caption makes a comparison between Muslims and Hindus. It implies that Muslim men marry minor girls whereas Hindus regard minor girls as deities. (Archive link<\/a>)<\/p>\n
