Critics warn the new law leaves a lot of room for parents and authorities to harass interfaith couples they want to stop from getting married

Supporters of the law, passed in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which is run by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, say it is necessary to target forced religious conversions. But critics say it opens the door to harassment of interfaith couples and Muslims.
