Calcutta High Court Orders Police Protection for Interfaith Couple's Wedding in Howrah
The Calcutta High Court has ordered West Bengal police to provide security for an interfaith couple in Howrah planning to marry amid local opposition and threats. The couple, together for 15 years, sought protection after their marriage notice was leaked, leading to intimidation from right-wing groups. The court affirmed adults' right to choose life partners regardless of religion and directed police to ensure a safe wedding. Authorities will report compliance, with a hearing scheduled for August 10.
