The Supreme Court, in cases including the Hadiya case, has held that the right of an adult to marry a person of their own choice is safeguarded under which Article of the Constitution?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. Article 21. The Supreme Court, in a series of rulings including the Hadiya case, has held that the right of an adult to marry a person of their own choice is protected under Article 21, the right to life and personal liberty, since choosing a life partner is treated as a core part of personal autonomy and dignity. Article 19 protects freedoms such as speech and movement, Article 25 protects freedom of religion, and Article 15 prohibits discrimination, none of which is the specific constitutional basis for this particular right. Hence option B correctly identifies Article 21 as the answer.
