Abstract

Marriage is the foundation of social life. It is union of two persons who live together after solemnisation of marriage. Marrying a partner of one’s own choice is a natural desire of an adult with sound mind and capacity. In Indian society however it is considered a taboo to marry a person of own liking. Although constitutionally and legally there is no restriction about marriage except the age barrier. Yet in everyday soci we witness a lot of incidents where persons are devoid of their right to marry. Judiciary has been proactive regarding this issue and has delivered umpteen judgements upholding the right to marry and choice in marriage. Present paper gives an account of leading judgements on right to marry.
