‘Right to marry not right to leave jail’: Andhra High Court denies parole to convict
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has denied a life convict parole to attend his wedding, ruling that the right to marry does not grant the right to leave prison. The decision comes after the bride's mother petitioned for a 30-day parole to allow the convict to marry their daughter. The court cited the convict's prior escape from prison, multiple disciplinary violations, and the restrictive parole rules as reasons for denying the request.
While acknowledging that the right to marry is a fundamental right, the court emphasized that it does not permit the prisoner to use a high-security prison as a venue for his wedding. The court's decision underscores the balance between personal freedom, prison discipline, and public safety concerns.
