Saffron ire: A Vishwa Hindu Mahasangh protest against ‘love jihad’ and religious conversions in New Delhi, Nov. 8
The Uttar Pradesh police, on December 2, stopped a wedding between a 24-year-old Muslim man and a 22-year-old Hindu woman in Lucknow’s Duda Colony. The ceremony was to be solemnised as per Hindu rituals and had the consent of both families. The police, who were acting on a complaint by a vigilante group, asked the couple to seek the district magistrate’s nod for their marriage. Official permission for interfaith marriages is mandatory under the new Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance 2020, promulgated on November 28 by the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government in the state.
