Institutions that forcibly convert or marry will be deregistered.
Institutions that donate or receive donations to such proselytizing and marriage organizations will also be deregistered.

In Uttar Pradesh too,
a law has been enacted to ban proselytizing in Uttar Pradesh. It was approved by the governor on November 28. The cabinet passed the bill on November 24. Yogi Adityanath said during the Assembly by-elections that a law would be brought against love-jihad in the state for the purpose of providing protection to women. Efforts are underway to bring such laws in Haryana, Karnataka and some other BJP-ruled states.

Uttar Pradesh was the first state in the country where the law was passed. UP has a provision to register a case under non-bailable clauses and a maximum sentence of 10 years under this Act.
