The high court on Thursday intervened on behalf of a Malayali US citizen whose marriage was postponed for over a year due to Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdowns. The court intervened as his visa is about to expire this week.
Justice N Nagaresh ordered Kuttanelloor sub registrar to conduct the marriage on Friday and issue a marriage certificate on the same day after considering a petition filed by Dennis Joseph Thomas, who is originally from Poonjar. Marriage of Dennis and a woman from Thrissur was postponed since May 5 last year. While allowing the marriage, the court said life and relationships have to more forward and that mankind has to survive the pandemic.
In the plea, the bridegroom contended that he is unable to observe the 30-day notice period as per Special Marriage Act as his visa is about to expire.
