Allahabad High Court Rules Parents Cannot Force Adult Daughter to Live with Them
The Allahabad High Court ruled that parents cannot compel an adult daughter to live with them against her wishes through a habeas corpus petition. The court dismissed a petition filed by Kalawati Devi seeking to produce her 25-year-old daughter, Pooja, who stated she lives independently in Delhi and does not wish to reside with her mother. Pooja alleged mistreatment at her parental home, which her mother denied. The court emphasized that a major has the right to choose her residence freely.
