My husband converted to another religion — does that affect our marriage?

Under Hindu marriage law, a spouse's conversion to another religion is specifically recognised as a valid ground for divorce for the other spouse — you don't need to prove any additional fault or cruelty beyond the conversion itself to seek a divorce on this ground.

The conversion doesn't automatically dissolve the marriage on its own — you would still need to file a divorce petition citing this specific ground, and the court would need to be satisfied the conversion genuinely occurred.

Depending on your specific circumstances, you may also want to consider related issues — such as any impact on maintenance, custody arrangements, or property matters — which your advocate can advise you on as part of the overall divorce petition, rather than treating conversion in isolation from the broader picture of ending the marriage.
