Prospective converts are first discouraged from converting. Only after being told of the difficulties of life as a member of the Jewish community will the convert be accepted, once they have convinced the Beis Din of their sincerity.

Nevertheless, if he does marry her, we do not obligate him to divorce her.
We explore the possible scenarios where motives are impugned and some historical examples (Spain 1391) of forced conversions.
And the halachic ramifications of a conversion obtained through deceit.
