A legislative proposal approved by the Utter Pradesh assembly called the Anti-Conversion Bill aims to control religious conversions. This bill was passed by a number of states around the nation due to worries about forced or fraudulent conversions, also known as ‘love jihad’.
The measure has generated a great deal of discussion and controversy, which is indicative of the intricate relationship between politics, religion, and individual rights in India. The Anti-Conversion Bill aims to prevent religious conversions that are purportedly brought about by marriage, force, deception, or attraction.
Laws usually require anyone who want to change to a different religion to notify the authorities ahead of time, and frequently include a requirement to obtain a magistrate’s consent. The bill also targets individuals and organizations engaged in such conversions
