Bombay HC rules in favor of woman escaping 'forced marriage', affirms her right to choose
The Bombay High Court has affirmed the right of a 21-year-old woman to determine her own residence, marriage partner, and educational path. The court provided protection to the woman after she claimed her parents were forcing her to wed a cousin who was 10 years her senior. Declaring her fully capable of making her own decisions, the court ordered the police to shut down the missing person report previously lodged by her parents.
