🏛 Supreme Court’s Landmark Judgment: Shakti Vahini v. Union of India (2018) 7 SCC 192

⚖️ Principle: Preventing Honour Killings

In the landmark case Shakti Vahini v. Union of India (2018) 7 SCC 192, the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India issued preventive, remedial, and punitive measures to combat honour killings and protect the fundamental right of adults to choose their life partners.

The Court unequivocally held that khap panchayats or family members cannot interfere in the marriage of two consenting adults, regardless of their caste, religion, or community background.


💡 Why This Judgment Matters

This judgment reinforces the constitutional guarantees of liberty, privacy, and dignity under Articles 19 and 21 of the Constitution. It ensures that every adult citizen has the right to marry a person of their choice — without fear, pressure, or violence.

At Delhi Law Firm®, we regularly rely on this ruling in court marriage protection petitions for inter-faith and inter-caste couples, safeguarding their rights and ensuring their safety.
