Mathura, June 11
Two women, who claim to be major, have approached the police
here for help, saying they want to get married but their parents were opposing
their relationship, a senior police officer said here.
“The two work in a beauty parlour and developed affinity
during the last four years.
While one of them belongs to Mant area, the other is from
Siddharth Nagar," a police officer said.
"On Sunday evening, both the girls contacted Harendra
Pal Singht, SHO Jamuna Paar police station, and sought his help for their
marriage. They said they were facing opposition from family members,"
Deputy Superintendent of Police Rakesh Kumar told reporters.
“Both the girls were counselled to change their decision by
police as well as by their family members, but, at present, they appear
adamant," he said.
Kumar said the girls have gone back to their families for
now.
Same sex marriages are illegal in India and homosexuality is
a crime under Section Section 377 (unnatural offences) of IPC
