The Supreme Court has asked the Rajasthan government to respond to a plea challenging the constitutional validity of its 2025 anti-conversion law. The petition claims the law is “ultra vires and unconstitutional.”
The Allahabad High Court ruled that conversion to Islam is valid if done voluntarily, with free will, and by a person of sound mind. The court made this observation while dismissing a plea by Taufik Ahmad, who sought to quash rape and unlawful conversion charges against him.It emphasized that forced or coerced conversions cannot be legally recognized, reinforcing the principle of religious freedom.
