other for a long time and there was a love affair between them. The victim had informed him that she was a major. Believing the same, the petitioner married the victim girl at Thanthoni Amman Temple, Thoppapatti Village and after marriage, they lived as husband and wife. During such time, there was some misunderstanding and the petitioner chided the victim girl due to which, the victim girl had gone out out of the matrimonial home and given a false complaint against the petitioner. He further submitted that the petitioner admits the marriage between him and the victim girl. However, since the victim girl has not attained majority, she is now under the custody of the parents of the petitioner who have also agreed to arrange the marriage between the petitioner and the victim girl after the victim girl attains majority. Further the petitioner has also filed an affidavit before this Court consenting to perform legal marriage with the victim girl after she attaining the marriageable age. Further, the petitioner understands that the statement of the victim girl has been recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. wherein, she has stated that the relationship between her and the petitioner is a consensual relationship. Hence, he prayed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
