Husband Faces Legal Trouble Amid Age Dispute

The husband of the viral Kumbh Mela girl is facing legal trouble. He has been accused of kidnapping her. However, the court observed that the young woman appears to be an adult.

The court granted her husband one month of transit bail, allowing him time to approach a court in Madhya Pradesh and seek legal relief before any further action is taken against him.

The young woman became an internet sensation after a video of her selling rudraksh garlands at the Prayagraj Kumbh Mela was widely shared online. Many people were drawn to her smile and appearance.

Later, she married Mohd Farman in Kerala despite opposition from her family. The wedding was attended by some senior leaders of the CPI(M).

Her family claims that she is still a minor and not legally old enough to marry. Based on their complaint, Madhya Pradesh Police registered a case against Farman.

The court is now examining the dispute over the young woman's age and will also decide on the legal issues involving her husband in the coming hearings.
