India
The Allahabad High Court has ruled in favor of 26-year-old Sonika Chauhan and her husband, Akbar Khan, letting them live together despite opposition from Chauhan's father.
The court stepped in after her father claimed Khan had "blackmailed" Chauhan and that she was "acting under his pressure," but Chauhan made it clear she chose Khan on her own.
