Story : The UP government has passed a new law that will look to make inter-faith marriages null and void if, upon investigation, they have been found to involve forced conversionAs per the new law, a penalty of five years in jail along with a fine of Rs 15,000 will apply for forced conversion, including via marriageThe law also looks to impose a jail term of between two and seven years and a fine of Rs 25,000 in cases where forced conversion involves minors or women belonging to a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe

Over the last few weeks, five BJP-led state governments – Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Karnataka and Assam – have declared their intention to bring a new law into effect that would curb alleged instances of 'love jihad' – a term used to describe the forced conversion of non-Muslim women to Islam by Muslim men. 

On October 31, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath went a step further, issuing a “warning” to those who “played with the honour of sisters and daughters,” noting that if the practice did not stop, their “Ram Naam Satya yatra (funeral processions)” would be carried out. 

The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has now approved an ordinance that will look to make inter-faith marriages null and void if, upon investigation, they have been found to involve forced conversion. The 'Vidhi Virudh Dharmantaran 2020' Bill has, reportedly, been put together by the state's home ministry before being issued to its law department. The original draft for the law was, reportedly, submitted by UP's Law Commission in November 2019.
