Allahabad High Court:<\/strong> In a case of inter-caste marriage, the Court directed the \u00a0Senior Superintendent of Police concerned to provide necessary and immediate protection to the couple if anyone disturbs their peaceful living.<\/p>\n

The petitioners approached the Court seeking a writ of Mandamus in order to prevent the respondents from interfering in their peaceful married life. The petitioners are adults and married each other of their own free will but they have been harassed for that.<\/p>\n

The Court accepted the precedent set in previous cases and observed that if the persons getting married are major and are marrying of their own free will then the parents of such persons can only cut them off socially. They have no right to harass or commit violence. There is no \u2018honour\u2019 to be found in \u2018honour killing\u2019. Therefore any person involved in such acts shall be sternly prosecuted.\u00a0The Court further directed the petitioners to register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act, 1954. [Amna Begum v. State of U.P., 2017 SCC OnLine All 1798<\/a>, decided on 02.08.2017]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
