What the Case Was About
The petitioner, a 25-year-old audiologist, got married to her husband Vajid K.V. according to community customs. Fearing that her family members would force her back to her parental home or intimidate her, she filed a petition asking the police to step in and safeguard her life, liberty, and right to move freely.
