25-year-old Dalit man who had embraced Christianity, Bobbili Bhaskar, has alleged that his girlfriend's family made him convert to Islam, undergo circumcision and changed dietary habits only to have his marriage proposal turned down by girl's father.
Equal Opportunity Commissioner of WA John Byrne said the Christian groups most likely cannot complain if they were to be banished by the Aboriginal community. Byrne said the elders would succeed as the ground of religious conviction does not apply to places.
