Orders
Summary The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir granted protection to two adults (Vishali Devi and Pankaj) who married consensually against their families' wishes, recognizing their right to marry under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution. The court directed police to provide adequate security based on threat assessment while verifying the parties' majority and legal compliance with marriage laws, rejecting the notion that family or community consent is necessary for adult marriages. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
