26:38Now PlayingSince the Uttar Pradesh (UP) "Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Ordinance" was enacted over a month ago, police have booked 86 people in 16 cases involving allegations of forced or deceitful religious conversion for marriage between Hindus and Muslims. In all, 54 people have been arrested, including family members and friends of the main accused. In all cases, the key accused is Muslim. A senior UP government functionary said, "the law does not espouse any motive to single out any religion or faith. Such legislation was necessary to prevent only those marriages that are done with the sole purpose of conversion. The law, in fact, safeguards human rights by preventing fake, fraudulent, or deceitful premises of marriage." In fact, when interviewed by the ThePrint India, several women involved in these cases say that they were coerced into giving statements against their romantic partners, not coerced into conversion or marriage! Many of the women portrayed as "victims" allege that they were pressured to comply with the police reports by their parents, particularly their fathers, or even by local far-right Hindu groups.
