Summary
- LAHORE : The Lahore High Court has dismissed a contempt of court petition filed against the Federal Secretary Law and Secretary Religious Affairs for failing to legislate an age limit for conversion of religion.
- The petitioner contended that the court had previously directed the federal government to legislate on fixing an age limit for religious conversion, particularly to prevent forced conversion of minor girls from minority communities, but no progress had been made despite the court order.
- Subsequently, the court dismissed the contempt petition as premature, while the main constitutional petition seeking fixation of 18 years as the minimum age for religious conversion is still pending.
