Conversion and changing names are two different things Chick. Changing names is a legal process. You go to court, file an affidavit, put an ad in the newspaper and then you are free to use your new name everywhere. In this case your new nameis your new identity and you are not allowed to retain your old identity.
Conversion is converting to a new religion which is absolutely fine and legal unless its only just to get married. People even take Sanyas and which means they take a new name and is identified with it. Now as long as Faiza is going to call her self Faiza everything is fine but If she wants to be called Dipika and conversion is just a facade, there is a problem. This is an open forum so I don't want to give more details. There is a lot more into it other than respecting people for their choices.Dont bring Mangalsutra and sindoor here or other marriage related topics. Wearing or not wearing Mangalsutra is a fight between traditional values and modernisation. Conversion to get married is neither tradition nor modernisation. Its a poor excuse.
