Allahabad High Court Orders Police to Produce Man Detained After Religious Conversion and Marriage
The Allahabad High Court has ordered Uttar Pradesh police to produce Ayush Malik, a man allegedly detained by his father after converting to Islam and marrying a Muslim woman, Chandni Qureshi. The court is hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by Malik's friend, who claims the conversion and marriage were voluntary and without coercion. The police had registered a case against Chandni and her father under the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, following complaints by Malik's father. The court has directed authorities to explain if Malik is not produced by the specified date.
