    Case Summary: The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir granted protection to petitioners Sonika Devi and Rahul Sharma, who married of their own free will on 13.11.2025 but feared violence and harassment from relatives. Following Supreme Court precedents in Lata Singh and Shakti Vahini, the court directed authorities to provide adequate protection to their life and liberty, while reserving the right to investigate any other criminal cases against them.
