Allahabad HC quashes case against man lodged by wife's father
The Allahabad high court has criticized parents in India for filing false criminal cases against their child's spouse in love marriages. The court quashed criminal proceedings against a man and expressed anguish over the societal pressure that leads parents to oppose such marriages. The court stated that this is a dark face of society that still exists even after 75 years of independence. The court emphasized that when both parties have agreed and are living happily together, there should be no impediment in accepting the marriage.
