In The Matter Of Lovejoy Patell And Anr. vs Unknown on 31 March, 1943
873, and Ponniah Asari v. Subbiah Asari ('35) 22 A.I.R. 1935 Mad. 363, The girl is a bright and intelligent girl. I am satisfied that she will be happy if she is permitted to live with the applicant. The fact of her living with the parents for a month has in no way impaired her affection for the applicant which is disclosed in every one of her letters. I am indeed relieved to find that her wishes coincide with what, in the circumstances, I conceive to be the requirement of the law. She has no fancy for getting married at this early age and having regard to the opinion, she expressed before me against early marriage and to what I have stated about her capacity under the Mussalman law and even under the Indian Majority Act in matters of marriage, dower and divorce it would not be right for me to do anything which may possibly expose her to undue pressure from her parents and thereby affect or impair her capacity to decide for herself the matter of her own marriage.
