Odisha High Court Big Decision , Marriage cannot be consummated unless daughter says ‘yes’
Now marriage cannot be done without the consent of the daughter. The High Court has said something important regarding the issue of marriage. The daughter’s decision is the most important in the field of marriage. It is necessary to take the consent of the daughter before taking any such decision by the guardian. The Odisha High Court has said that it is appropriate to proceed with the marriage only after the consent of the daughter. The High Court made this observation while hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by the father regarding the complaint that the daughter is missing.
The High Court has said that forcing a girl to marry off by external force is not conducive to a healthy society. Parents should stay away from the idea of imposing their decisions on their children. The administration should also be made aware against this. The High Court has emphasized on respecting the decision of the girl who has attained adulthood.
In this case, the girl has been asked to focus on ensuring that she can return to her place of residence easily and safely. There will be no interference in her life by her husband or guardian. Not only that, the High Court has directed the police to ensure the safety and security of the girl. If there is undue interference by the guardian and husband, the police will take action. Along with this, the High Court has given a full verdict in the hearing of the application filed by the father to rescue the girl. A bench comprising Chief Justice Harish Tandon and Justice M.S. Raman gave this order after hearing the related case.
A father approached the High Court to rescue a missing girl. The police contacted the girl by tracking her mobile number. The girl voluntarily went out of the state and informed the police working in a private company. After this, the High Court directed the police to produce the girl in person. During the hearing of the case, it was clear from the girl’s statement that she was forcibly married. She does not want to live with her husband or parents. After this, the High Court issued this important verdict. No guardian can force her to marry if the girl does not agree. After the High Court’s decision, it is hoped that the parents will not be able to impose their will on the girl. It is hoped that the girl will get the freedom to choose her life partner.
