✦AI Summary
The Allahabad High Court has quashed an FIR filed against a couple by the woman's father, ruling that the police should not interfere in the marriages of consenting adults. The court also imposed costs on the police and the father for pursuing a case against a voluntary marriage.
When 28-year-old Shubhangini Shukla chose to marry Pravi Gupta, 27, the man she loved, she already expected opposition from her family. What she perhaps did not anticipate was that the fight for her life choice would end with the Allahabad High Court censuring her family and the Uttar Pradesh Police.
