💨 Abstract

The Delhi High Court has quashed a POCSO case involving a 19-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl, both neighbors, who got married and had a child. The court made the decision on "humanitarian grounds" due to exceptional circumstances and the fact that the girl's parents were aware of their relationship. The girl herself stated that the relationship was consensual and that the child is theirs.
