Why Maharashtra Govt Move To Track Interfaith Marriages Is Unconstitutional & Further Endangers Women

A recent Maharashtra government move to track interfaith marriages is meant to either stop ‘love jihad’ or reconcile women ‘estranged’ from their families. Whichever of these objectives the government hopes to achieve, it is illegal and unconstitutional, denying women the right to liberty and equality; exposes them to further risks; and sends a clear message—if you marry outside your faith, the State will be watching.

‘Number Of Hindu-Muslim Couples Seeking Help To Get Married Has Fallen. Such Is The Fear’

Several Indian states have enacted laws to curb interfaith marriage, and Delhi-based non-profit Dhanak Of Humanity, which has helped over 5,000 couples of different faiths, castes and communities over a decade, says these laws could criminalise those aiding such couples. Co-founder Asif Iqbal told us the government and groups campaigning against the ‘love jihad’ trope do not want unions under a law that allows them to be married, while many states have not obeyed a 2018 Supreme Court order to set up a helpline and shelter homes for couples in love at risk of honour killings, violence by communal groups.
