Jammu and Kashmir High Court Denies Relief to Interfaith Couple in Abduction Case
The Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court dismissed an interfaith couple's plea to set aside an FIR filed by the woman's father-in-law, accusing the man of abducting her while she was legally married to his son. The woman claimed she voluntarily left an allegedly abusive marriage to be with the man, but the court cited insufficient evidence to quash the FIR and referenced a Himachal Pradesh ruling denying legal recognition to their relationship. Non-bailable warrants against the man remain in effect as investigations continue.
