MP News: A different kind of case has come to light from Madhya Pradesh.

The court clarified that the girl is an adult and has the right to take decisions about her life, hence she was allowed to live with her boyfriend.

The case started when the girl’s husband filed a petition in the court alleging that his wife was being forcibly kept by her lover Anuj. During the hearing, the police brought the girl to the court, where her parents, husband and boyfriend were also present. In the court, the girl clearly said that she is living with her boyfriend of her own free will.

The girl was also given counseling on the instructions of the court, but she did not change her decision and remained adamant on living with her lover. Her boyfriend also assured the court that he will take full care of her and will not let her face any kind of trouble.

In the end the court said that now there is no specific purpose left in this petition. The court allowed the girl to live with her lover and also gave instructions to ensure her safety. Under the order, two policemen will be deployed under his security for the next six months and will help him if needed.
