TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Backing the “anti-conversion” legislation brought by Uttar Pradesh government, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday said that he personally does not support conversion for marriage.
“I want to ask why there should be a conversion. The practice of mass conversions should stop. As far as I know, in the Muslim religion, one can not marry someone from another religion. I personally do not approve of conversion for marriage,” Rajnath Singh said.
He was responding to a question about the misuse of “love-jihad law” enacted by the Uttar Pradesh government. He said there is a difference between “natural marriage” and forceful religious conversion for marriage.
“In many cases, you may have seen that the religious conversion is being done forcefully and sometimes it is done under greed. Natural marriage and forceful conversion for marriage has a big difference and I think governments which made these laws have considered all these things,” he added.
