The bench emphasised the woman's legal right to make her own decisions as an adult
Urvi Mahaj

The Bombay High Court has reaffirmed the autonomy of an adult Hindu woman who chose to marry a Muslim man below the legal marriageable age of 21. The court ruled that since the woman is a major, it cannot grant her custody to anyone but can only ensure her release from a government-run shelter home where she was lodged following a parental complaint.

"We can only wish her luck. We will only set her to liberty. Let her do what she wants to do," observed a bench of Justices Bharti Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande during the hearing on December 13.
