In Brief
Two adult petitioners sought court protection from the family of the female petitioner, who filed a false kidnapping complaint against the male petitioner because they opposed the couple's marriage. The female petitioner was a 21-year-old graduate; the male was 20 years old. Both were present in court and confirmed their consensual relationship and intention to marry. The court held that as adults, they have a constitutional right to live together and marry as they wish. The court directed cancellation of the false FIR within one week and ordered police to provide security to the couple to prevent family harassment, while also warning all family members not to obstruct their life together."
