Category: Religious Conversions

This category examines state-level laws that criminalize religious conversions conducted through misrepresentation, allurement, or for the sole purpose of marriage. We analyze legislation such as The Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance 2020, often discussed in the context of “Love Jihad”. Posts explore the salient features of these laws, including prescribed punishments, the non-bailable nature of the offense, and the legal recourse available to victims. The focus remains on the evolving legal discourse and constitutional complexities surrounding these enactments.
