Orissa HC drops charges after interfaith couple married

news18.com

The Orissa High Court has dismissed charges against Fayazuddin Khan, a Muslim man accused of kidnapping and assaulting a minor Hindu girl. The court found that the couple, now married, had reconciled their differences, making further legal action unnecessary. The case originated from a complaint filed in May 2022, alleging kidnapping and theft. The couple married after the girl reached adulthood, and her family no longer wishes to pursue the case. The court emphasized that the relationship, now accepted by society, reflects a genuine reconciliation. It ruled that continuing legal proceedings would serve no purpose and would only cause hardship for both parties.
