Meghalaya Court Dismiss POCSO Charges On Man After Minor Confirms Living As Wife

The Meghalaya HC dismissed POCSO charges against a man, after considering that the accused and minor girl, were living together as husband-wife, and their relationship was approved by the family. The court said, "this is precisely the case here where a minor girl who is living with a man as husband-wife, with the blessings of the family has to witness her husband being prosecuted," and dismissed the case.
