Gujarat: Father forced minor daughter to live with fiancé in Ahmedabad
A shocking news was reported from Gujarat’s Ahmedabad where a father forced his minor daughter to live with her fiancé. The incident came to light when the girl’s father and her fiance approached the high court by filing a habeas corpus petition claiming that the girl was forcibly detained by another person.
On reading the case Gujarat High court found the case “quite disturbing” and asked the state government to investigate the matter seriously. Because as per the statement the girl is minor and her father actually forced the girl to live with her fiance at his house. If all of this comes out to be true then the court may take the view that it may constitute an offence under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act.
