Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has stated that while interfaith marriages are not problematic, action must be taken against cases where individuals enter into matrimonial alliances through deception and false identities.

Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Fadnavis emphasised that the Supreme Court and the Kerala High Court have acknowledged the existence of "love jihad" and made observations on its reality. His remarks came in response to a query regarding the Maharashtra government's decision to form a committee to examine the legal aspects of a proposed law addressing forced religious conversions and alleged cases of "love jihad".
