Jailbirds Priya Seth, Hanuman Prasad Get Parole for Marriage: Honeymoon Next?

• Priya Seth, convicted for a Tinder murder, and Hanuman Prasad, a five-time murderer, are granted 15-day parole by Rajasthan High Court to marry.
• Their love story blossomed over six months in Sanganer Open Jail, leading to the court-ordered parole.
• The case raises questions about Article 21, which grants rights to marriage and progeny, and its potential extension to a honeymoon.
• Parole is typically granted on humanitarian grounds like marriage or serious illness, not for luxuries like honeymoons.
• Courts consider procreation a fundamental right, but a honeymoon is seen as a luxury, and security risks prevent parole for such purposes.
