As a retired government doctor, I found myself in a difficult situation. An underage couple approached me for an age certificate, but later, their father filed a police complaint claiming his 17-year-old daughter was pregnant and the doctor had facilitated the situation. Despite only conducting physical checks and not performing any tests, I was falsely accused under sections 376, 363, and 114 of the IPC. The police are blaming me for the wrong certificates issued. As a senior citizen, I’m worried about this accusation. What legal recourse do I have?

Under Indian law, an adult can marry freely without parental consent. If you and your fiancée are both of legal age and willing to marry, there’s no legal requirement to inform her family beforehand. However, to avoid potential trouble, consider discussing your plans with her family, even if they don’t approve. You can also consult a lawyer to understand your legal rights and ensure a smooth marriage process.
