Court allows girl to live with husband

NEW DELHI: A 17-year-old Muslim girl who had eloped with a man a month back, was allowed by a Delhi Court to go home with her husband after she expressed a desire to live with him and said she married him of her own will. The girl's father Issar Ahmed had lodged an FIR at the Uttam Nagar police station on July 26 alleging that his minor daughter had been enticed away by one Bhagwan Singh.

However, Metropolitan Magistrate Deepak Garg allowed the girl to go home with Mr. Singh after she stated that she had willingly married him and wanted to lead a normal life.

``The girl has come from the custody of the respondent (accused), she has to go in the same custody. More so because the girl wants to go with her husband,'' the court observed. - PTI
