The Uttarakhand High Court reprimanded a runaway couple who married against family wishes but directed police protection. Justice Rakesh Thapliyal heard the case involving an 18-year-old woman and 21-year-old man facing threats from her relatives.
Today, On 20th March, The Chief Justice of India asked the lawyer to move the Delhi High Court after a runaway couple’s protection plea was mentioned before the Supreme Court of India. He questioned, “Why this step-motherly treatment to Article 226 jurisdiction?”
The Allahabad High Court recently dismissed pleas from eight Hindu-Muslim couples seeking protection for their interfaith marriages under India’s anti-conversion laws. The ruling highlights the legal complexities and challenges faced by such couples and emphasizes the need for a nuanced approach to laws concerning religious conversion and marriage in the country.
