Priyanka Mishra, a government lawyer, argued that because the petitioner and the woman married in violation of the Madhya Pradesh Freedom of Religion (MPFR) Act 2021, their marriage should be declared null and void. She argued that because Section 3 of the MPFR Act states that no person shall convert for marriage, and any conversion made in violation of this provision is illegal, the petitioner’s marriage should be declared null and void. The bench turned down the argument.
