Merely Marrying Muslim Man Doesn't Result In Automatic Conversion From Hinduism To Islam: Delhi High Court In Partition Suit

Live Law  

While dealing with a partition suit, the Delhi High Court has observed that merely marrying a Muslim man does not result in an automatic conversion from Hinduism to Islam. Justice Jasmeet Singh was dealing with a partition suit filed in 2007 by the eldest daughter of a man from his first wife against him as well as his two sons from the second wife. Partially allowing the suit, the Court said that the burden of proving that the plaintiff eldest daughter had ceased to be a Hindu owing to her marriage to a Muslim of Pakistani origin residing in the United Kingdom rested entirely on the defendants. However, the Court said that the defendants failed to discharge the burden as no evidence of aspresented to substantiate the claim that the eldest daughter had renounced Hinduism or formally converted to Islam.
