Do Laws Against Conversion Violate Fundamental Rights?
– Only Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, and Himachal Pradesh have anti-conversion laws in effect out of the seven states that have so far adopted such legislation.
– A recent anti-conversion bill has also been introduced in Jharkhand that aims to outlaw forced conversions and stipulates that those who commit forced conversions must serve a 4-year sentence in prison and pay a fine of ₹1 lakh.
