The Supreme Court while hearing the Bihar minor marriage case on Wednesday told the Bihar Director General of Police and the Delhi Police Commissioner to make sure the teenage girl, who wants her marriage cancelled, is safe.

A bench of Justices Ujjal Bhuyan and Manmohan noted the girl and her friend were scared for their lives. They have ordered authorities to contact them and offer help, according to news agency PTI.

The girl, claiming to be on the run with a friend, says, she was forcefully married on December 9, 2024, when she was 16 and a half. Now, her husband and in-laws are making her stay, complaining about wedding costs.
