"Marriage illegal:" Allahabad High Court cites non-compliance with UP anti-conversion law to refuse protection to 3 interfaith couples
While in two of the cases, the women involved had converted to Hindu religion from Islam to marry Hindu men, a third case involved a Hindu man converting to Islam to marry Muslim woman.
The Allahabad High Court recently refused to grant protection to three inter-faith couples on the ground that their marriages were "illegal" since they had not complied with the requirements under the recently enacted anti-conversion law - Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act (Act).
