                                                                                                                                                Will the government intervene if some religious group says that their religion allows them to practice infanticide? Give reasons for your answer.  

Answer:

In this case, the government will definitely intervene. The Indian Constitution has given the government the right to intervene in religious affairs if there is a threat to social harmony or of a criminal offence. Infanticide is a savage crime and cannot be allowed at any cost; even in the name of religion.
