1. The case of the petitioners is that they are major and educated, having sound mind, can decide their own fate and both were in love since last one year and finally solemnized the marriage on 29.01.2020 by way of Marriage Agreement duly registered by the Notary and subsequently Nikahnama under the Mohammadan Law at Jammu against the will of their respective family members. It is further case of the petitioners that prior to solemnization of their marriage, they being diligent, had put forth the marriage proposal before their respective families but both the families were not agreed for the marriage. Respondent Nos.4 to 7 wanted to solemnize the marriage of petitioner No.2 with someone else and threatened the petitioners in case they will do anything against their will, then they will face the dire consequences, therefore, the petitioners had no other option but to solemnize the marriage without the consent of their respective families. However, after the marriage, family members of petitioner No.1 are in favour of this marriage, whereas family members of petitioner No.2 are still against the said marriage. The petitioners are enjoying their married life but the private respondents being unhappy with the marriage of the petitioners are continuously threatening and harassing the petitioners. Petitioners tried to persuade the private respondents but to no avail.
