Imho, this is not an issue of religous conversion, but that of
subversion of laws. by Ghosh departure from hinduism neither
hinduism gets adversely affected, nor islam gets favourably
affected. that is just a notional conversion, and religios
lable is just a side effect.
It is just a matter of injustice to Mrs Ghosh, in the sense
that at the time of marriage she must have had expectations
arising out of hindu marriage, which must have been shattered.
to the best of my knowledge the marriage is voidable at her
discretion. [not that it is adequate protection].
i doubt if this can be a reasonable ground to do away with
separate personal laws in india.
