Allahabad HC comes to the rescue of inter-faith couple

Prayagraj (UP), Jan 8 : The Allahabad High Court has come to the rescue of another inter-faith couple, facing harassment at the hands of their families.
A single bench of Justice Saral Srivastava said that no one can interfere with the lives of two adult individuals who have decided to live together.
The court directed that police protection be granted, if necessary, to a couple that had married across religions.
Justice Saral Srivastava reiterated that nobody is entitled to interfere with the peaceful lives of two adults who were living together.
In this case, a Hindu woman had converted to Islam prior to marrying a Muslim man. The petitioners claimed that they are adults and living together out of their own free will.
They told the court that the woman decided to follow the Muslim religion and converted herself voluntarily. The couple approached the court and said that they were being threatened and harassed by family members.
