'Embracing Islam just to marry is anti-religion'

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Muzaffarnagar (UP), May 5: Islamic seminary Dar-ul-Uloom Deoband has said conversion to Islam just for the sake of marriage is against religion.
Its comments came after a Hindu man in Garhi Pukhta village said he wanted to convert to Islam to marry his domestic help, who is a Muslim.
Last month, 82-year-old Om Prakash, also a freedom fighter, and Gasia Begum (50) had applied at the marriage registrar office. Following stiff opposition to the relationship by his two sons, Prakash said he would convert to Islam if he was not allowed to marry Gasia.
Their decision attracted the attention of the Islamic seminary, which termed any such move against the ‘Shariat’.
