The HC also advised the parents that there can't be a rift in the family if the parents and children love and care for each other. According to The Indian Express, the HC told the parents, "There would be no question of any child going against the parents or parents going against the children to the Court to preserve their rights."

between the two, there cannot be a rupture in the family, and there would be no
issue of either child or parent going to Court to preserve their rights.

claiming that his daughter Nisarga had vanished from her engineering college
dorm. According to The Indian Express, he said that his daughter was carried
away forcibly by Nikhil, the driver.

presented that she was a major by age, having been born in 2003 and had married
Nikhil of her own accord. They married in a temple on May 13 and have been
living together since then.

and did not want to go back to living with her parents. The HC not only
took down the daughter's and parents' remarks but also gave them some advice.
"Our history demonstrates that there have been parents who sacrificed
their lives for their children, and children who have given their lives for
their parents," they said.

The HC also advised the
parents that there can't be a rift in the family if the parents and children
love and care for each other. According to The Indian Express, the HC told the
parents, "There would be no question of any child going against the
parents or parents going against the children to the Court to preserve their
rights."

case illustrate that 'love is blind and a more potent weapon than the love and
devotion of the parents, family members, and society as a whole," the
Court stated.

for the children to understand that life is made up of reaction, resound, and
reflection." They will exact tomorrow what they are doing to their parents
today." "Even according to Manusmruthi, no one can compensate his
parents even in 100 years for all the pains they go through to give birth to
them and raise them to adulthood," the Court ruled, quoting the
'Manusmruti.'

that individuals had the autonomy to make vital decisions concerning their own
life and that parents and society should have no part in it, reported The
Indian Express.
