The Madhya Pradesh High Court held that a major woman has the right to live according to her own wishes and cannot be unlawfully detained by police. However, the Court clarified that she cannot reside as the wife of a man who is below the legally prescribed marriageable age.
The Bombay High Court ruled that an adult woman has the right to make her own life choices, even if her family disagrees. The court granted protection to a pregnant woman who wished to marry her partner despite family threats.
