Nashik/Hyderabad, Aug. 5 (Hydnow): Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today said that the State government is thinking about introducing a law to curb “love jihad” but will study similar legislation in other states before taking a decision.
Lover Jihad is a term used by right-wing activists and outfits to allege a conspiracy by Muslim men to convert Hindu women to Islam through marriage.
“Many cases have come up of girls getting married and converting. There is demand from all corners to make a law against this. Earlier, I had made an announcement in the House also. Accordingly, the study of laws in various states is on, and then the decision about it in Maharashtra will be taken, said Fadnavis. (Hydnow)
