The Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that a husband cannot demand DNA tests of his children to prove his wife’s alleged adultery. The Court stressed that children cannot be used as tools in marital disputes and their rights must be protected.
The Karnataka High Court ruled that not just families, but priests, temple authorities, and venue managers can also face criminal liability for facilitating child marriages under Section 11 of the PCMA. The Court refused to quash proceedings, stressing that child marriage is a serious social offence that cannot be excused by later developments.
