She has also stated that on 11.6.2011, she married respondent No.4-Shohrab Khan. She had not been forced by anyone into the marriage. The marriage was as per her own will and volition. She has been living happily with her husband-Shohrab Khan. She has come to the Court alongwith her husband and wants to return to her husband's place. She specifically stated that she does not want to go with the petitioner, who is her father. In view of the above, it cannot be said that Israt had been illegally detained by respondents No.4 to 9.
