Case Summary: WP(C) /1600/2026 The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir directed police to provide adequate protection to Pooja Devi and Musharaff Wani, who contracted marriage on 29.05.2026 of their own free will but feared violence and harassment from relatives. The court applied Supreme Court precedents recognizing adults' right to marry freely, while clarifying that the order doesn't authenticate their marriage validity or majority status, and doesn't prevent investigations into other incidents.
