flag A Hindu woman’s marriage to a Muslim man was voided after the court found her religious conversion fraudulent, but she may register it under a secular law.

flag The Allahabad High Court ruled that marriages based on fraudulent religious conversions are invalid under Indian law, stating that if conversion is proven false, the marriage cannot be legally recognized. flag The court examined a case involving a Muslim man and a Hindu woman who claimed she converted to Islam in February 2025, citing a certificate from Khanqahe Alia Arifia, which the institution denied issuing. flag Finding the document likely forged, the court declared their Muslim law marriage invalid, as it requires both parties to share the same faith. flag However, the court allowed them to register the marriage under the Special Marriage Act, which does not require religious conversion. flag The woman was directed to remain in a women’s protection home in Prayagraj, as she declined to live with her parents. flag The petitioners’ counsel was ordered to pay ₹25,000 to a mediation center within 15 days.
