<h1>Rajasthan's New Bill Targets Unlawful Religious Conversions; Imposes Strict Penalties Including Up to 10 Years Imprisonment</h1> The Rajasthan Assembly introduced the Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Bill, 2025, aiming to prevent religious conversions through misrepresentation, force, or fraudulent means. Offences under this bill are cognisable, non-bailable, and triable by court, with penalties including imprisonment up to 10 years and fines up to Rs 50,000. Special provisions exist for conversions involving minors, women, or marginalized communities, with harsher penalties. Mass conversions face stricter penalties as well. Individuals wishing to convert must notify the District Magistrate 60 days in advance. The bill emphasizes protecting religious freedom and maintaining secularism in India.
