Delhi High Court reunites inter-faith couple, cops will ‘sensitise’ parents

The petition was moved by a 27-year-old man after his wife was whisked away from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh by her family earlier this month, days after their marriage. An inter-faith couple, who were allegedly forcibly separated by the woman’s family, has been reunited by the Delhi High Court, which was also informed by the Delhi Police that they will sensitise their parents about the “right of a citizen to choose a life partner”. Delhi Police has also promised to assign a beat cop to regularly check on the young couple to ensure their “safety and security”. The petition was moved by a 27-year-old man after his wife was whisked away from Delhi to Uttar Pradesh by her family earlier this month, days after their marriage. In his plea, the man demanded that his wife be produced in court, and also sought protection for her as he “apprehended grave danger to her life, limb and liberty”. The man alleged that the woman’s family did not approve of their marriage. On being produced before a bench of Justice Jayant Nath and Justice Najmi Waziri on Wednesday, the 25-year-old woman categorically stated that she would like to stay with her husband, whom she married of her own free will. Her father later told the court that he has accepted their marriage, saying he cannot do anything since his daughter has taken the decision.
