A leading Hindu group in Pakistan has demanded the Government to remove a controversial clause in the draft Hindu Marriage Bill that calls for annulment of marriage if any of the spouses converts their religion, saying it can trigger forced conversions of minority community women.
Ramesh Vankwani, patron in-chief of the Pakistan Hindu Council, said the Hindu community in Pakistan was concerned about the clause. The clause 12(iii) says a marriage will be annulled if any of the spouses converts to another religion.
