“We don’t want something like an honour killing,” said a vacation bench of Justices Shahrukh Kathawala and Surendra Tavade on Friday.
Residents of Mumbai, the couple hail from Chaubari village, Bachao taluka, Gujarat. The woman (23) belongs to the Ahir community and the man (22) is a Brahmin. She is a commerce graduate while he has a bachelor of management studies degree.
In May 2021, before the same judges, the man had filed an habeas corpus to produce his wife. At an online hearing on May 21, the woman was coerced to tell the court that she was compelled to marry him because he had her pictures. His petition was dismissed.
On Friday, both came to court and recounted their plight. Realising that they need immediate protection, the judges requested advocates Deepa Chawan and Manjiri Shah to draft a petition for them.
