Article 21 | Major Woman’s Free Will Overrides Habeas Corpus Petition by Alleged Husband : Rajasthan HC

Rajasthan High Court dismisses a habeas corpus petition filed by a man claiming to be the husband of a major woman, affirming that her voluntary choice to reside with her parents negates allegations of illegal detention. The ruling reinforces that a major woman’s autonomy under Article 21 prevails over familial claims, setting a precedent for personal liberty in gender-related disputes.
