Allahabad High Court:<\/strong> In a case of inter-caste marriage, the Court directed the\u00a0 Senior Superintendent of Police\u00a0concerned 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 contended that they are adults and married each other of their own free will but they have being 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. The Court further directed the petitioners to register their marriage under the Uttar Pradesh Marriages Registration Rules, 2017 within two months from the date of this order, failing which the order would stand vacated. [Babita @ Roji v. State of U.P., 2017 SCC OnLine All 1993<\/a>, decided on 05.09.2017]<\/p>\n
