Join us on Tuesday, April 25th at 2:00 pm EDT for a Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar entitled "Judicial Responses to Anti-Conversion Laws in India." This entry in the series will try to provide an overview of India’s state level anti-conversion laws and judicial responses to them. In India, several states have recently passed Freedom of Religion Act or “anti-conversion” laws that attempt to regulate religious conversions and include controversial marriage provisions sometimes pejoratively referred to as “love jihad” laws. The webinar will focus on how the Supreme Court and high courts are considering both the misuse and constitutionality of the recently issued laws and ordinances. This webinar will be presented by Foreign Law Specialist, Tariq Ahmad.
