Every person has a right to marry and found a family with the person of their choice. Every person has a right to follow any religion of their liking or to not follow any religion at all. An adult woman has a right to marry a man whom she likes irrespective of his religion. If she studies about his religion and likes it enough to convert then there is nothing wrong with it. Conversion only for the purpose of marriage because of some loopholes like the permissibility of polygamy while not actually following it is not allowed but conversion for the purpose of following it and marriage being incidental to it is not wrong. No court can nullify the marriage of two consenting adults who have come together with their own free will. Mixing inter-religious marriages and conversions with human trafficking is wrong. Courts have a right to protect the victims of trafficking but they do not have a right to nullify the marriage of two adults. It is wrong to presume that every inter religious marriage is for the purpose of forced conversions. A third party interfering with the marriage of adults is not an acceptable thing.
