Life and Liberty is a fundamental right
The Constitution of India Part III deals with fundamental rights. Article 14 to 18 describes about Right to Equality and Article 19 to 22 gives us Right to Freedom of life and liberty to all citizens of India, irrespective of any difference of religion, race, caste , sex, or place of birth. Generally any person citizen of India having threat or fear of life and liberty can move to the petition Competent Court (Session Court and High Court) for protection of his/her life and liberty, and the Competent Court after satisfaction give directions to the police authorities to do the needful.
It’s the fundamental right of grownups to solemnize marriage with their free will and choice. But even in spite of lot of commercial and educational development still fundamentalist or conservative people think it immoral. Recent incidents of Honor killing have proved it. Still in 21th Century people think the female child as a property of family and forget that she is a human being also having desires, ideas, dreams, and a kind heart. The law seems to be on the side of free will of marry as reveals from recent judgments of Supreme Court as well as various High Courts.
False allegation
when a girl runaway from the house, then parents of the girl gave false complaint to the police about kidnapping of girl and put pressure on the police to arrest alleged boy and his family members, even they are aware of this fact that girl run from the house with the boy with own wish. But with intention to harassing the boy and his family members they move to police for lodging a FIR and being a cognizable offence police has to register the FIR against all the Family of the boy. From escaping himself and family member this legal problem, couple should move the petition in the high court Chandigarh.
So when a couple having age of marriage (21 for boy & 18 for girl) and decides to solemnize the marriage against the wishes/consent of their parents its utmost important that they should be provided police protection or shelter at such place which is protected from any threat. Otherwise there is not any particular provision or law for taking police protection but the Hon’ble Courts ( Punjab & Haryana high court, Chandigarh) enjoys inherent powers under section 482 Criminal Procedure Code.
