&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Reading the riot act, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said it was &amp;quot;absolutely illegal&amp;quot; for anyone to attack couples marrying outside their caste and warned the government that if it did not bring a legislation to protect such couples, the court would lay down guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Referring a couple of times to the murder of Nitish Katara by the kin of the girl he was in love with, a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud minced no words in slamming organised violence against inter-caste couples, especially by khap panchayats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We are not talking about individuals. But there is a serious problem which inter-caste couples face. Wherever there is any kind of collective attack on an adult boy or an adult girl, because they chose their life partners, it is absolutely illegal,&amp;quot; the bench said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former lieutenant general attempted to dispel the negative notion about khaps and said it was because of their efforts that things had started changing in these panchayats and the sex ratio in northern states, especially Haryana, had improved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bench said, &amp;quot;Take it from us, we are not concerned with khaps at all. But we will make it crystal clear that an adult girl and an adult boy can get into a marriage alliance of their choice. No panchayat, khap, individual or even parents can question such a decision, be the marriage inter-caste or otherwise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Appearing as amicus curiae, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran told the bench that the Law Commission, in its 242nd report, had proposed a law for freedom of matrimonial alliances. &amp;quot;The Centre has been seeking time to file its suggestion by taking adjournments from time to time. The Centre has been saying that it has to consult states as law and order is a state subject,&amp;quot; he said. &lt;br /&gt;

But there is a serious problem which inter-caste couples face. Wherever there is any kind of collective attack on an adult boy or an adult girl, because they chose their life partners, it is absolutely illegal,&amp;quot; the bench said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A former lieutenant general attempted to dispel the negative notion about khaps and said it was because of their efforts that things had started changing in these panchayats and the sex ratio in northern states, especially Haryana, had improved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bench said, &amp;quot;Take it from us, we are not concerned with khaps at all. But we will make it crystal clear that an adult girl and an adult boy can get into a marriage alliance of their choice. No panchayat, khap, individual or even parents can question such a decision, be the marriage inter-caste or otherwise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appearing as amicus curiae, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran told the bench that the Law Commission, in its 242nd report, had proposed a law for freedom of matrimonial alliances. &amp;quot;The Centre has been seeking time to file its suggestion by taking adjournments from time to time.

-The Times of India&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Reading the riot act, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said it was &amp;quot;absolutely illegal&amp;quot; for anyone to attack couples marrying outside their caste and warned the government that if it did not bring a legislation to protect such couples, the court would lay down guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Referring a couple of times to the murder of Nitish Katara by the kin of the girl he was in love with, a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud minced no words in slamming organised violence against inter-caste couples, especially by khap panchayats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We are not talking about individuals. But there is a serious problem which inter-caste couples face. Wherever there is any kind of collective attack on an adult boy or an adult girl, because they chose their life partners, it is absolutely illegal,&amp;quot; the bench said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A former lieutenant general attempted to dispel the negative notion about khaps and said it was because of their efforts that things had started changing in these panchayats and the sex ratio in northern states, especially Haryana, had improved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bench said, &amp;quot;Take it from us, we are not concerned with khaps at all. But we will make it crystal clear that an adult girl and an adult boy can get into a marriage alliance of their choice. No panchayat, khap, individual or even parents can question such a decision, be the marriage inter-caste or otherwise.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Appearing as amicus curiae, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran told the bench that the Law Commission, in its 242nd report, had proposed a law for freedom of matrimonial alliances. &amp;quot;The Centre has been seeking time to file its suggestion by taking adjournments from time to time. The Centre has been saying that it has to consult states as law and order is a state subject,&amp;quot; he said. &lt;br /&gt;

Make law to protect those in inter-caste marriages, says Supreme Court -Dhananjay Mahapatra

-The Times of India NEW DELHI: Reading the riot act, the Supreme Court on Tuesday said it was "absolutely illegal" for anyone to attack couples marrying outside their caste and warned the government that if it did not bring a legislation to protect such couples, the court would lay down guidelines. Referring a couple of times to the murder of Nitish Katara by the kin of the girl he was in love with, a bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud minced no words in slamming organised violence against inter-caste couples, especially by khap panchayats. "We are not talking about individuals. But there is a serious problem which inter-caste couples face. Wherever there is any kind of collective attack on an adult boy or an adult girl, because they chose their life partners, it is absolutely illegal," the bench said. A former lieutenant general attempted to dispel the negative notion about khaps and said it was because of their efforts that things had started changing in these panchayats and the sex ratio in northern states, especially Haryana, had improved. The bench said, "Take it from us, we are not concerned with khaps at all. But we will make it crystal clear that an adult girl and an adult boy can get into a marriage alliance of their choice. No panchayat, khap, individual or even parents can question such a decision, be the marriage inter-caste or otherwise." Appearing as amicus curiae, senior advocate Raju Ramachandran told the bench that the Law Commission, in its 242nd report, had proposed a law for freedom of matrimonial alliances. "The Centre has been seeking time to file its suggestion by taking adjournments from time to time. The Centre has been saying that it has to consult states as law and order is a state subject," he said. Please click here to read more.
