Gujarat High Court Rules Major Woman Can Choose Her Own Path

The Gujarat High Court has ruled that an adult woman has the right to decide her own future, emphasizing her freedom to choose her partner. The decision came in response to a habeas corpus petition filed by a man who claimed to be the live-in partner of a married woman.

Case Background

The case involved a woman who was married but faced marital issues. Due to conflicts with her husband, she moved in with her parents and later entered into a live-in relationship agreement with the petitioner.

However, the petitioner alleged that the woman’s parents and husband took her away against her will. Following this, an FIR was filed at Khambha Police Station in Amreli, prompting legal intervention.

High Court’s Decision

A bench of Justices Biren Vaishnav and Pranav Trivedi reviewed the case and personally heard the woman’s wishes.

The woman, identified as Harshaba, clearly expressed her desire to be with the petitioner.
Since she is an adult, the Court affirmed that she is free to decide her own future.
The Court ordered that she is at liberty to go wherever she chooses.

Final Judgment

The Gujarat High Court ruled:

An adult woman has the right to make independent choices.
Her family or husband cannot force her to stay against her will.
The habeas corpus petition was resolved in her favor.

Conclusion

This ruling reinforces a woman’s right to autonomy and the importance of personal freedom in relationships. The decision highlights that a major woman can make her own choices without interference from family or marital obligations.
