Learned counsel for the petitioner has filed the rejoinder affidavit, which is also taken on record. Shri Dwijendra Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the detenue and the respondent no. 4 are present in person in the Court. Therefore, the statement of the detenue may be recorded. In view of above, the statement of the detenue has been recorded by this Court. On query being put by this Court, the detenue states that she was in love with the respondent no. 4 since childhood and since her father and other family members were not ready, therefore, she has married with her own sweet will and volition to the respondent no. 4 in the temple. At the time of marriage, her mother was also present, who had got the marriage solemnized. She also showed a video on her mobile to her father, who is also present in person in the Court, who admitted that his wife is present in the video. She further states that they have also given a reception after their marriage and the photographs and invitation card thereof have been annexed with the counter affidavit. She further states that she wants to live with the respondent no. 4. Her age is about 29 years and the respondent no. 4 is aged about 30 years. Their high school certificates have also been annexed along with the counter affidavit. The detenue and the respondent no. 4 state that they will get
their marriage registered soon. In view of above, since the detenue has married to the respondent no. 4 and residing with him with her own sweet will and volition and they are major in age, therefore, the petition is misconceived and is, accordingly, dismissed.
