A recent Delhi High Court order has reaffirmed the importance of personal liberty and privacy in the choice of a life partner, emphasizing that individuals have the right to decide on their own marriages without interference from family or community. The ruling, which cited a landmark Supreme Court judgment, highlighted the significant role inter-caste marriages play in promoting social integration and reducing caste divisions in India. The court stated that such unions are crucial to the nation's progress and must be protected from any form of familial or communal pressure. In a specific case, the court granted police protection to an inter-caste couple facing opposition from their relatives, who had been issuing threats. The court directed the police to assess the situation and take necessary measures to ensure the couple's safety. The ruling underscores the importance of upholding individual freedoms and protecting those who choose to defy societal norms in pursuit of their personal choices.
