Babita Kumari w/o Navin Prakash, resident at C/o Ajay Kumar Nariyal Ghat, Takyapar, P.O. Digha, P.S.Danapur, District- Patna. -------------- 6 25.10.2011 The petitioner is present, so is the girl and her father. Father of the girl once again requests for time to be granted to the girl to reconsider. Having considered the matter we do not think that there is any legal issue involved in the present case. The girl is a major and a graduate. She has , out of her own will, married the writ petitioner. She is presently staying with her father. The writ petitioner wants restitution of conjugal right. She does not dispute that she is not being forcibly restrained by her father. She wants her father to be persuaded by this Court to agree to letting her go with her husband. We have full sympathy for her but we are helpless as that is beyond our jurisdiction . The girl being major and having already taken decision effecting her life herself, it is for her to decide how she would proceed with her life. This court cannot dictate or facilitate her action in this regard. All that this Court can say is that she is free to decide her future course of action and no body, least her father, can stop her against her 2 will. We only hope that all parties would consider that families are social unit which should not be allowed to degenerate or disintegrate for therein lies the future of our society. We accordingly dispose of the writ petition. Singh ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.) (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.)
