    Interfaith marriage: Adult’s


    right to marry a person of
    choice is fundamental right,
    says Karnataka HC
    The ruling came even as the Karnataka government followed other BJP-ruled
    states in claiming the need for a special law to stop inter-religious marriages.

    By: Express News Service | Bengaluru | Updated: December 3, 2020 8:18:03 am


    A bench of Justices S Sujatha and Sachin Shankar Magadum made the observation in the course of
    disposal of a habeas corpus plea led by a 25-year-old software engineer.

    AN ADULT individual’s right to marry a person of his or her choice is a fundamental


    right that cannot be denied on the basis of caste or religion by anybody, according
    to an observation made by a division bench of the Karnataka High Court last week.

    A bench of Justices S Sujatha and Sachin Shankar Magadum made the observation
    in the course of disposal of a habeas corpus plea filed by a 25-year-old software
    engineer, Wajeed Khan, over the refusal of the parents of a work colleague to
    acknowledge their interfaith marriage.

    The petition, with the Bengaluru Police as respondents, sought the production of his
    fiancee Ramya G, a software engineer, and “to set her at her liberty”.

    When the police produced her in court, Ramya told the court that she had been
    staying at a facility run by an NGO, Mahila Daskshata Samiti, in Bengaluru after her
    parents refused to allow her to marry Khan. She had been staying away from home
    after filing a complaint of alleged infringement of her liberty by her parents, she
    told the court in the presence of her parents and Khan’s mother who were
    summoned by the court.
    “It is well settled that a right of any major individual to marry the person of his or
    her choice is a fundamental right enshrined in the Constitution of India and the
    said liberty regarding the personal relationships of two individuals cannot be
    encroached by anybody irrespective of caste or religion,” the bench said in its
    November 27 order while setting Ramya at liberty.

    The court said that since the scope of a habeas corpus is limited to production of an
    individual in court, Ramya was being set to her liberty after the recording of her
    statement. “Ramya G being a software engineer is capable of taking a decision
    regarding her life,” it said.

    The ruling came even as the Karnataka government followed other BJP-ruled states
    in claiming the need for a special law to stop inter-religious marriages, especially
    those involving women from majority communities with men from minority
    communities.

    A division bench of the Allahabad High Court recently ruled in the case of a
    Muslim-Hindu couple Salamat Ansari and Priyanka Khanwar alias Alia that the
    “right to live with a person of his/her choice irrespective of religion professed by
    them, is intrinsic to right to life and personal liberty”.
