In a landmark decision, the Allahabad High Court has ruled that interfaith couples can marry under the Special Marriage Act without converting to each other’s religions. The court granted protection to a live-in couple facing threats due to their relationship, emphasizing that the law allows such couples to register their marriage while maintaining their individual faiths. Justice Jyotsna Sharma clarified that while marriage by agreement is legally invalid, couples can still apply for court marriage under the Special Marriage Act without conversion. This ruling underscores the act’s role in fostering religious harmony and personal freedom, setting a significant precedent for future interfaith marriages in India.
