The Allahabad High Court in India has said that the citizens of the country have the constitutional right to choose a partner of their choice irrespective of caste, religion or creed.

According to the English Daily News Paper Hindustan Times, the court also said that the last two decisions objecting to conversion to get married were not good according to the law.

The two-judge bench of Justice Pankaj Naqvi and Vivek Agrawal of Allahabad High Court said this while hearing the plea of ​​Salamat Ansari and his wife Priyanka Kharwar alias Alia, who are from Kushinagar district of Uttar Pradesh.

Priyanka had converted her religion and her father complained to the police about this. Both the spouses took refuge in the court to quash the police action.

The Hindustan Times writes that the decision was given by the court on 11 November 2020 but it has been made public on 23 November 2020.

According to Hindustan Times, now that the Uttar Pradesh government was working on a plan to make a law related to conversion for marriage, this decision of the High Court may cause problems for it.
