Conversion for marriage

In India, the Constitution of India enumerates as one of the fundamental rights that an individual can practice the religion of his choice, convert to any religion of his choice or remain independent of any religion. Even if a person belonging to Dalit or Scheduled Caste gets a government job through reservation, even if he converts to another religion of his choice, the government job which he got through the privilege while he belonged to the previous religion will not be lost. Things like these will make us realize how much our constitution has valued religious freedom to choose the religion of choice. Similarly, if a man and a woman of suitable age want to marry, even their parents cannot stop the marriage. Whether they belong to the same caste and religion or to different castes and religions, the eyes of the law are equal. This is one of the most honorable rights enshrined in the Constitution of India. But in recent times, some state governments ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party have enacted laws banning interfaith marriages. It denies two important fundamental rights granted by the Constitution, the right to change religion and the right to marry whomever one wants. Let alone that the Supreme Court has banned this. Although they give various reasons for banning conversion marriages, the biggest joke is that such marriages are referred to as love jihad marriages. At a time when the world is on the path of progress, the reality is that trying to drag India backward will never succeed. Let us uphold the fundamental rights granted by our Constitution. We will defend the Constitution of India framed by Dr. Ambedkar, the first Law Minister of India.
