Re: change of religion of a minor
The religion of child is Hindu i.e. father's religion. You can take divorce on the ground of conversion and separation(desertion).You will have to pay maintainence to your wife only if she is not earning enough.
Re: change of religion of a minor
the conversion of your wife is a sufficient ground for you to seek annulment of marriage by way of decree of divorce.
she is entitled to maintenance even after divorce.
the religion of child cannot be converted without your consent.
