What FACTLY found

The Supreme Court has not given any verdict mandating parental approval for court or love marriages. The court in fact has consistently held that there is no legal requirement for parental consent for a court or love marriage based on the fundamental right to freedom of marriage under Article 21 of the Constitution of India
