The Gujarat High Court intervened to ensure the marriage of a 21-year-old interfaith couple, a Hindu woman and a Muslim man, after right-wing groups disrupted their marriage registration in Ahmedabad.

The court directed the state women's home to release the woman to her husband and emphasized the state's ongoing responsibility to safeguard the couple's rights.
