New Delhi, October 26: The Delhi High Court today allowed a woman, who alleged she has been illegally detained by her parents who are against her affair with a man much older than her, to choose a life partner.
A Division Bench of Justice B D Ahmed and Justice Manmohan Singh allowed 25-year-old Merilyne Easow, a resident of Kerala, who was produced by the police on a habeas corpus petition, to take her decision.
