What is love jihad, how much punishment can be done?
To curb Love Jihad in UP, the Yogi government has brought the Uttar Pradesh Laws Against Religion Transformation Prohibition Ordinance, 2020. After the approval of Governor Anandiben Patel on November 28, it has been implemented in the state.
According to the ordinance, if someone commits conversions by forcible, false, coercive, seduction, and harassment, then this offense will be non-bailable. In such a situation, a hearing will be held in the first-class magistrate's court. If the girl's religion was changed only for marriage, not only will such marriage be declared invalid, but those who convert can also face jail terms of up to ten years. According to the ordinance, the accused will have to provide proof of innocence that he has not illegally or forcibly converted the religion, the conversion was not done by harassing the girl, it will be up to the accused person to prove it.
