Anti Conversion Laws and Interfaith Marriage Restrictions - These laws, including the Anti Conversion Laws/Freedom of Religion Act, are seen as prohibiting interfaith relationships, often citing concerns over forced conversions and societal threats. They are criticized for falling short of protecting human rights and for potentially infringing on personal liberties, including the right to marry across faiths. Such laws may threaten the life and liberty of interfaith couples, especially when familial opposition is involved. Mayra Alias Vaishnvi Vilas Shirshikar VS State of U. P. - Allahabad

Constitutional Perspectives on Religious Practices and Personal Laws - Courts have discussed the extent to which religious practices, including those related to dress, food, and religious identity, are protected under Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 of the Constitution. While the State is authorized to make laws, the relation of an individual to their religion and practices is generally considered a matter of personal liberty, with some dissenting opinions emphasizing that certain religious practices should not be restricted unless they violate fundamental rights. The prohibition of practices under Article 17 (untouchability) is also relevant in the context of religious freedom debates. Indian Young Lawyers Association VS State of Kerala - Supreme Court

Legal Framework for Interfaith and Non-Heterosexual Relationships - The succession rights for Hindu non-heterosexual couples are governed by the Hindu Succession Act (HSA), whereas interfaith non-heterosexual couples of other religions are governed by the Indian Succession Act (ISA). There is a recognized need for anti-discrimination laws to protect interfaith couples, aligning with the spirit of Article 15, which prohibits discrimination by the State and individuals. These legal considerations highlight the importance of safeguarding the rights of interfaith and non-heterosexual couples amidst societal and legal challenges. Supriyo @ Supriya Chakraborty VS Union of India - Supreme Court
Analysis and Conclusion:
The sources collectively suggest that anti-conversion laws and restrictions on interfaith relationships, including live-in arrangements, are contentious issues. While some laws aim to prevent forced conversions, they often risk infringing on personal freedoms, including the right to marry across faiths. Constitutional protections emphasize individual liberty, but religious practices remain a complex area subject to legal interpretation. There is a clear need for laws that balance religious freedom with anti-discrimination principles, ensuring that interfaith couples can exercise their rights without undue interference or threat to their liberty.
