Right to Marriage : Supreme Court has recognized it as a part of the right to life and personal liberty. The right to marry is considered an integral aspect of the right to lead a meaningful life.

In various judgments, the court has held that the freedom to marry a person of one's choice is a fundamental right.
Some key judgments affirming the right to marry include:
• Supreme Court in K.S. Puttaswamy vs Union of India (2017): This landmark judgment recognized the right to privacy as a fundamental right, which, in turn, includes the right to marry and establish a family.
• Lata Singh vs State of U.P. (2006): The Supreme Court, in this case, emphasized the right of two adults to live together consensually and to choose their life partners.
