Gujarat man arrested for impersonating as Christian to marry woman and convert her

To lure the woman, the man allegedly impersonated as a Christian and got in touch with her on Instagram. He allegedly raped and forcibly married her. After the wedding, he made her change her name and forced her to convert.

The police in Vadodara have arrested a 26-year-old man for allegedly impersonating as a Christian to dupe a woman from a different religion and force her to marry him. Officials say the woman has alleged that the accused raped her on multiple occasions and forcefully married her in February this year. This is the first case in Gujarat where a person has been arrested under the newly notified law against forcible/fraudulent religious conversion through marriage.
