Article 21 | Right to Live Together Outside Marriage Affirmed for Majors Despite Below-Marriageable Age: MP HC
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that two adults, even if below the legal marriageable age, have a fundamental right under Article 21 to cohabit consensually without state or familial interference. This reinforces that personal liberty and autonomy in intimate relationships supersede age-based marital restrictions, extending protection to couples facing familial threats.
