UP Prohibition #Ordinance 2020 against Unlawful Religion #Conversion:

It proposes that religious conversion by force, or by giving inducement or by facilitating conversion through marriages, should be included in the category of crime. @myogiadityanath
Under this law, religious conversion is allowed, but conversion by force or through any kind of inducement is not.

If a person wants to perform marriage after converting into any other religion, they will need to take permission from District Magistrate 2 months before marriage
The ordinance provides for a jail term of 1-5 years with Rs 15,000 penalty for forceful religious conversion.

For conversions of minors and women of SC/ST community, there will be jail term of 3-10 years with Rs 25,000 penalty. .#UttarPradesh
In cases of forced mass conversions, the ordinance provides for jail term of three-10 years with Rs 50,000 penalty.

In case of conversion done by a woman for the sole purpose of marriage, the marriage would be declared null and void. #anticonversionlaw
The ordinance also makes ‘forced conversions’ non-bailable offences to be tried by a First Class Magistrate..
