It was at around 10.30 am that the couple came to the open court. Requesting the judge to intervene in the issue, the couple said: “We are not able to live peacefully. The dam could break any moment. We got married after a lot of struggle. It was court which helped us unite. Due to continuous tremors, we are under constant fear that we may have to die here,” the couple said.The duo had married against the wishes of their families. After the families filed Habeas Corpus, they were produced before the court. The High Court, after finding that they were of legal age, had permitted their marriage.
