Interfaith couple's marriage notice circulates online, triggers privacy concerns
Dehradun: The marriage notice of an interfaith couple from Dehradun, filed under the Special Marriage Act (SMA), was widely circulated on social media on Saturday, raising concerns of a possible leak from the SDM office and a serious breach of their privacy. The incident has triggered fears of the couple being targeted, especially after a post on X urged users to "save the girl from the man," alongside their photographs and address. This comes months after a similar case in Udham Singh Nagar, where the SMA notice of another interfaith couple, already under police protection on the directions of the Uttarakhand high court, was leaked and widely circulated online. At the time, social media posts called for protests and urged people to report the "love jihadi," despite the couple firmly denying any allegations of religious conversion. In the latest case, the couple had submitted their application earlier this week at the SDM Sadar's office. As mandated by law, it states their intent to solemnise the marriage within three calendar months. Officials said the notice is a public document under the law, and "not much can be done to prevent its circulation". "As per the process, time has been given for objections. The woman's father has also submitted one. We will hold hearings in the coming days and proceed accordingly," said SDM Hari Giri. He added that the couple has not yet approached authorities about a privacy breach or threats, but appropriate action will be taken if they do.
