UP anti-conversion law applies to live-in couples too, says Allahabad HC

Live-in partners are bound by provisions of UP's 2021 anti-conversion law as much as legally married interfaith couples, Allahabad HC said while declaring a pair that got married through Arya Samaj rituals as a 'live-in couple' and ordering them to go through established registration procedure.State, too, opposed the plea, saying they never applied for religious conversion.
