Madhya Pradesh HC rejects family's habeas corpus plea after noting woman is a major

A Hindu woman’s family approached the Madhya Pradesh High Court with a habeas corpus petition, alleging she was being wrongfully detained after moving in with a Muslim man.

The Court observed that the woman is a major, left her parental home of her own free will, and is not under wrongful restraint.

Finding no evidence of unlawful custody, the court dismissed the petition.
