MP High Court warns lawyers against unnecessary police protection for newlyweds
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has cautioned lawyers against routinely advising newly married couples to seek police protection in the absence of genuine threats.

The bench described the practice as potentially becoming an unofficial 'eighth ritual' following a wedding. The court stressed that advocates must not exploit young couples and ordered an inquiry into the institution involved in arranging the marriage.
