On May 7, a Hindu-Muslim couple in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, faced disruption from right-wing groups while attempting to register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act. Despite a Gujarat High Court directive ensuring their right to marry, protests led to the postponement of their registration. The High Court, expressing frustration over the need for police protection for two consenting adults, questioned the state's response. Following assurances from the Public Prosecutor that police instructions would be enforced, the couple was able to complete their marriage registration later that day. This case stems from a habeas corpus petition filed by the man in March, which led to a court order directing the couple's marriage registration. The High Court had previously mandated that their application be processed within six weeks, citing the couple's right to marry and the need for their safety. The court plans to sign the final order regarding the marriage next week.
