Justice Prashant Kumar observed that this is a “dark face of society”, while dealing with one such case where the parents of a woman had filed a first information report (FIR) accusing her husband of kidnapping her.
“This is a clear case of the dark face of our society. Even today, when children who marry on their own their parents under their family and societies pressure do not approve the marriage and go to the extent of filing F.I.R. against the boy. The court after hearing the parties, records its deepest anguish, whereby this social menace is deep rooted that even after 75 years of independence we are fighting the cases with his opponents on this score only,” the Court said.
