Guwahati Court January 1986 Judgments

Smt. Lalliani Vs. R.L. Rina

Court: Guwahati

K. Lahiri, J.1. Mizoram may be a small Union Territory but it has beauty, culture and civilization of the highest order. The people are strong, healthy and good looking, literacy is the second highest in India and the landscape and humanscape are bonny, exquisite and beauteous. The complainant petitionerclaims that she is good looking and in the prime of her youth she was one of the most fine-looking girls in Mizoram. All Mizo girls are handsome and beautiful but the striking feature is the manner in which they exercise their restrained freedom. They have a unique life style where song and dances play a pivotal role. The boys mix with them but if they overdo, even touch the body of a girl without her permission they are penalised according to their customary law. It is a taboo. The boys respect girls, so do their counterpart. Mizoram is famous for songs you hear the sound of music in the valleys and hills, and the sweet musical notes ring in your ears even after you had left Mizoram....
