I am a Hindu male married to a Christian woman. We recently had a son, and my in-laws are insisting that I get my son baptized. However, they have stated that my son can practice Hindu rituals or anything else as per my wish, but they want the baptism to be done. Is this considered legal conversion? Are baptism certificates or records maintained, and if so, what could be the consequences in the future? I would like to know a detailed response regarding this.
Sir, you may proceed with the baptism as it does not constitute legal conversion under Indian law unless followed by a formal declaration. You must ensure a clear agreement with your in-laws that your son will practice both Hindu and Christian traditions. It is expert to consult an expert family lawyer to protect your son’s future religious rights. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
