   ORDER

The memorandum disposition filed on January 28, 2008, is withdrawn. A replacement memorandum will be filed concurrently with this order.

Kaur’s petition for rehearing and petition for rehearing en banc are denied as moot.

MEMORANDUM

Kulwant Kaur, a native and citizen of India, petitions for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order that affirmed an immigration judge’s order denying her claims for asylum, withholding of removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). We have jurisdiction under 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We deny the petition for review.

Substantial evidence supports the BIA’s adverse credibility determination, because Kaur’s testimony and her asylum application were inconsistent regarding whether she sustained any harm during her 2001 detention, and this inconsistency goes to the heart of her claim. See Chebchoub v. INS, 257 F.3d 1038, 1043 (9th Cir.2001). Substantial evidence also supports the BIA’s additional finding that Kaur failed to establish a well-founded fear of future persecution based on her status as an unwed Sikh mother, because she did not demonstrate an objective basis for her future fear. See Nagoulko v. INS, 333 F.3d 1012, 1018 (9th Cir.2003). Therefore, Kaur’s asylum claim fails.

Because Kaur failed to meet the lower standard of proof required to establish eligibility for asylum, she necessarily failed to show that she is entitled to withholding of removal. See Farah v. Ashcroft, 348 F.3d 1153, 1156 (9th Cir.2003).

We dismiss Kaur’s CAT claim, because she failed to exhaust the claim before the BIA. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1); Barron v. Ashcroft, 358 F.3d 674, 678 (9th Cir.2004).

PETITION FOR REVIEW DENIED.
