Young Couples

       Often Young ones falls in love where ever they live, love is natural phenomena, it never consider caste, religion or creed, but it has seen in score of cases’ for young couples families it is not easy to accept other caste or religion scion as their son-in-law or daughter-in-law, hence their relation become hard to get nod of them, resultant young couples left with no other options but to elope from their vicinities and get stamp of law on to their relations but it also create situation where both families not only blame each other for their young family member revolt or aggressive action, for young couples atmosphere generates where for them live with their families is life threatening, so they often seek courts protection, when courts received such petition from young couples it releases’ order to local authorities to provide adequate security.
    As per stats of last year fled young couples were two thousand five hundred and sixty one who seeks security from Punjab and Haryana High Court but out of it only 1.2 percent had taken police protection. It was reveal by the report of Tanu Bedi which was based on fifteen districts of Punjab state, they are –

• Amritsar
• Barnala
• Bhathinda
• Faridkot
• Ferozpur
• Gurdaspur
• Hoshiarpur
• Jalandhar
• Kapurthala
• Mansa
• Moga
• Mukstsar
• Nawashehar
• Sangrur
• Tarantaran

and above mentioned districts of Punjab state highest cases of police protection were received from Hoshiarpur district and they were four hundred and fourteen while lowest cases of police protection were received from Barnala which were thirty six, in spite of two thousand five hundred and sixty one love couples desire of police protection from Punjab and Haryana Courts but only thirty one had taken security, it can be reasons like-

• Postal address which were given by young couples in score of cases often found it is wrong, hence police department unable to find the coded correct address.
• Some couples due to poverty do not take police protection as they found tough to bear the expenses of security personnel’s.

as this report was presented in front of one of honorable Justice. Reports from Haryana and Chandigarh are yet to be present in the court, as Punjab and Haryana High Court on to hearing petition of eloped young couples from Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh seeks report from Tanu Bedi. Next hearing of this case is schedule on 17th August,2011.
     If senior members of families accept the relation of their young ones with open heart then there will be no need for them to flee from their houses and seek police protection, but for this families have to come out from the shell of fake social bounds which is not easy as it require guts to oppose it.
