The Uttar Pradesh cabinet approved on Tuesday the draft ordinance that prescribes up to 10 years imprisonment for those found guilty of such conversions.
The promulgation comes a month after Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath vowed to end “love jihad”, a term the Hindu right uses to describe marital relationships between Muslim men and Hindu women.
“…the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance has been promulgated,” said additional chief secretary (home) Awanish Kumar Awasthi.
The ordinance makes violations of its provisions cognisable and non-bailable offences. It authorises “aggrieved parents, siblings or close relatives” to file first information reports over the violations.
“If any person reconverts to his/her immediate previous religion, the same shall not be deemed to be a religious conversion,” says the ordinance.
