Dismissing a petition filed by a married couple seeking direction to others to not interfere in their married life, the Allahabad High Court has observed that conversion “just for the purpose of marriage” is unacceptable.

The court made the comments after finding that a Muslim woman had converted to Hinduism, and a month later married as per Hindu rituals.

In an order passed on September 23, Justice Mahesh Chandra Tripathi stated that keeping in view the facts and circumstances, “this court is not inclined to interfere in the matter under Article 226 of Constitution of India”. Consequently, the court said, “the writ petition is dismissed”.
