Couples marrying against parents' wishes can't claim police protection as right: Allahabad HC
PRAYAGRAJ: (Apr 16) The Allahabad High Court has observed that couples who marry of their own will against the wishes of their parents cannot claim police protection as a matter of right unless there is a real threat perception to their life and liberty.
The court gave the ruling while deciding an application filed by a couple seeking protection.
It said the court can provide security to a couple in a deserving case but in the absence of any threat perception, such a couple must "learn to support each other and face the society".
