Inquiry Regarding Registration of Religion of our son for school.


25-Mar-2024 (In Family Law)
My wife, Mrs. Linisha, and I were married under the Special Marriage Act. While I was born into the Muslim faith, my wife was born into the Hindu faith. However, for the past 13 years, we don't have any religious beliefs. Our son is 10 years old and currently studying in school. now required to register his religion for school purposes. we are seeking guidance on whether there is an option under the law to register his religion without categorizing it under any specific religious belief.

Hi. The constitution of India allows you to pranctice religion of your own choice and this has a reciprocal benefit that it also allows a person to be without a religion. As per a recent judgment of the Hon'ble Madras High court, you need not select a religion or caste for you child in the records and the same cannot be out to question by the authorities.
