The marriage was performed by Qazi. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that both petitioners are major and married according to Muslim law.

The police have the liberty to verify the Aadhar Card, Certificate-cum-Marksheet issued by the Educational Board, Nikahnama issued by Qazi, contents of affidavits, documents proving the petitioners' ages, or any other documents to test the petitioners' bona fides. 6.
