Marriage is a personal decision –

Marriage is a personal decision between two peoples. When a couple decided to get married with each other, then nobody has right to interfere between them. Even  their family members also. For example:-

“Marriage Protection” means make the protection of two person , husband and wife (Bride and bridegroom) from their relatives those are against the marriage of the couple and they have only one motive to reach the harm the newly married couple physically.

After performing the Marriage if the married couple has some apprehension that somebody (Either the parents of the girl or parents of the boy) hurt them or create threat to their life because they were not agreed for the marriage but still they performed. The married couple can file the petition the Hon’ble High court in Chandigarh for seeking the protection of life and liberty (famous known as marriage protection). The Indian constitution has given right of freedom to marry with any person of any religion and through run away marriage ,couple  fulfill their desire of marriage .

The runaway marriage & inter caste marriage has some adverse effects like increasing the incidents of honor killing. Thus it’s more important that those couple performing marriages like that should be highly protected. Here we are discussing  about the protection of life and  liberty of a couple who solemnize marriage against the wishes of their parents or who  planning to run from the house for getting the marriage, hence face threat to life.

It’s the fundamental right of grown ups to solemnize marriage with their free will and choice. But even in spite of lot of commercial and educational development still fundamentalist or conservative people think it immoral. Recent incidents of Honor killing have proved it. Still in 21th Century people think the female child as a property of family and forget that she is a human being also having desires, ideas, dreams, and a kind heart. The law seems to be on the side of free will having married as reveals from recent judgments of Supreme Court as well as various High Courts.
