The Supreme Court recently observed that an adult woman cannot be forced to live with her husband against her wishes. In the instant case, a muslim man had converted to hinduism to marry a woman but a few months later she moved back to her parent's home and refused to live with him. The woman contented that she had moved back with her own volition and was not in form of pressure. The court observed that an adult woman cannot be forced to live with husband against her wishes. The court further stated that this type of case comes under matrimonial dispute and a writ of habeas corpus cannot be entertained and should be adjudicated by a relevant court instead.
