Even at the time of the admission, respondents 1 and 2 have produced the detenue Saranya. She has appeared before us. We enquired her. According to her, she is 19 years old and her date of birth is 1.06.1987. There is no dispute regarding her age. Hence, we hold that the detenue is a major. On our further enquiry, she has informed us that on 25.01.2006 she married the third respondent Prabhu at Echanari Mariamman Temple, Coimbatore District and she also asserted that from that date onwards i.e. from 25.01.2006, she is living with her husband. She also expressed that she prefers to live with her husband. 3. Taking note of her wish and assertion and also of the fact that she is a major, we are satisfied that she is not under illegal custody or detention of anyone including the third respondent. In such circumstances, no further direction is required as claimed by the petitioner and the detenue is free to decide her future. Accordingly, this petition is closed.
