Article 21 | Right to Marry Freely Mandates Police Protection from Family Harassment: Allahabad HC Invokes Lata Singh Precedent

Allahabad HC reaffirms that major individuals have an unfettered right to marry under Article 21 and directs police to protect couples from family threats or harassment. The court mandated marriage registration within two months and invoked the Supreme Court’s Lata Singh ruling to prohibit interference in consensual marriages, reinforcing personal liberty as a constitutional guarantee.
