The Madurai bench of the Madras High Court has directed the Sivaganga District police to provide protection to a Muslim woman and her Hindu husband, who reportedly received threats after their recent marriage.
When the case came up for hearing on Wednesday, the couple Murugan and Ariffa, told the court that both of them were above 18 years of age and had married as they were in love with each other.
Justices R S Ramanathan and T S Sivagnanam observed that the court could not interfere in the matter as they were above 18 years and directed the police to give them protection, if they sought it.
