關於婚姻與同居的法院裁決
Introduction
A court in India made two decisions about the right to choose a partner.
印度的一家法院就選擇伴侶的權利做出了兩個決定。
Main Body
First, a young couple wanted protection. They lived together but were not married. The man was too young to marry. The court said this is not the Indian way. The court also said the couple hurt their parents' honor.
首先，有一對年輕情侶尋求保護。他們同居但尚未結婚。該男子年齡太小，無法結婚。法院表示這不符合印度的傳統。法院還指出這對情侶損害了父母的榮譽。
Next, a woman with a degree had a problem. Her family wanted her to marry a man she did not like. They hit her and forced her. The court said this is wrong.
接下來，一名擁有學位的女性遇到了問題。她的家人想讓她嫁給一個她不喜歡的男人。他們毆打並強迫她。法院表示這樣做是錯誤的。
The court said every person can choose who they marry. This is a basic right. The court told the police to protect the woman from her family.
法院表示每個人都可以選擇自己的結婚對象。這是一項基本權利。法院指示警方保護該名女性，使其免受家人的侵害。

The court says forced marriage is illegal. But it does not protect couples who are too young or break family rules.
法院表示強迫婚姻是違法的。但對於年齡太小或違反家庭規則的情侶，法院並不提供保護。
