Yes, as a general statement, Sreelekha is right - let Law takes it own course but the issue here is WHY SO MUCH ADVERSE PUBLICITY - bcoz a Muslim is involved and Pesudo-Secularists wants to jump into the fray to get more publicity / sympathy of general public (not fundamentalists). Assume just for a while, what could have been the scenario if a Muslim girl elopes with a Hindu (or any other religious) boy ? They would have shredd the boy into million pieces, which is in their nature and that is what has been told to them / expected of them. Only Islam prevails - all others are K----- ?
Simply ignore as what was destined to happen had happened.
