While the congress is terming it as a draconian law and enacted with the purpose of further dividing the people on religious ground. 
    When the bill was presented in the house for passing it to governor, the CM Manohar Lal khattar showed 127 FIRs on religious conversion which had been registered in six districts in four years. So it is a problem which needed to be dealt and is surely not a propoganda only. 
    Recently in a few judgments SC also told government to stop the force conversion as it is an unconstitutional. Everybody as right to practice his or her own religion and force conversion by any fraudulent means take away so. So what is anti conversation law of Haryana? As per the CM Manohar Lal khattar Law is enacted to create a deterrent for people when they start doing something wrong. Such incidents have started taking place in a few places of Haryana. Until the time these were not happening, or when there were only one or two such incidents, there was no requirement of such a law in this regard. But now several incidents of forced religious conversion by way of coercion and allurements have come to light.The law deals with punishing the person involving in force conversion through any fraudulent means. Also have provision regarding the monthly maintenance in case of fake marriage and in marriage if couple conceive a child, the child until his or her minority period will get covered all his expenses from the accused. Also couples who wanted to convert in other religion will have to give written statement to district magistrate that they wanted to convert and they are taking decision not in pressure of any external factors. The burden of proving innocence that the conversion was not affected through misrepresentation, use of force, under threat, undue influence, coerion, allurement or by any fraudlent means or by marriage or marriage for the purpose of arrying out conversion shall be on the accused. Every person will admit that forced conversion unconstitutional but the government enacting laws should also consider the privacy factor into consideration. It must also facilitate the couple who wanted to get married if they wanted to. They must be safeguarded from societal factors who will try to stop them. What are your take on anti conversation law?
