Love Grows Between Life-Term Prisoners: 15-Day Parole for Marriage

Two life-term prisoners lodged in a Jaipur jail have been granted official permission to marry after their relationship developed during incarceration in Rajasthan.

Acting on directions from the Rajasthan High Court, the District Parole Advisory Committee approved a 15-day parole strictly for the purpose of conducting the marriage.

Pria Seth (34) and Hanuman Prasad (29), both serving life sentences in separate criminal cases, decided to marry after forming a close bond while staying in an open-air prison facility in Jaipur’s Sanganer area.
The parole was granted on January 7 following verification by the District Parole Advisory Committee. Advocate Vishram Prajapat, representing the couple, confirmed the development.
