Nikah Conversion

The license of a lawyer who allegedly used his chamber for performing Muslim marriages (Nikah) and religious conversions has been suspended, the secretary of the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) said Monday.

In a significant judgement, the Allahabad High Court has ruled that the religious conversion of girls "without their faith and belief in Islam" and "solely for the purpose of marriage" to Muslim boys could not be held valid.
