SRINAGAR, March 09: The High Court has ordered a probe by a woman IPS officer into the circumstances under which a 19-year-old girl from Kashmir allegedly fell into a marriage trap with a 46-year-old already married man, observing that the matter could point to wider exploitation of young women in rural areas.
while hearing a petition in WP(C) 200/2026, Justice Rahul Bharti directed the government to identify a woman IPS officer posted in Kashmir who could conduct an inquiry into the case and examine whether similar practices are active in the region.
The Court asked Senior Additional Advocate General Mohsin Qadri to inform it about a suitable officer for the assignment on the next date of hearing.
