The Calcutta High Court has directed the West Bengal Police to provide security to an inter-faith couple in Howrah and ensure that their marriage is conducted without disruption, observing that adult citizens are free to choose their life partners.
The order was passed by Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya while hearing a petition filed by a man and a woman belonging to different faiths, who sought police protection for their wedding after alleging opposition from local residents.
