Govt takes big decision
About three years ago, the Rajasthan High Court ruled on the hearing of a case regarding a live-in relationship. According to this important decision of the court, a married and unmarried person cannot live in a live-in relationship. Their relationship is not legally valid. That is, this couple cannot get any kind of security. Then, a 29-year-old unmarried woman and a 31-year-old married man had filed a petition in the court. Both had sought legal protection while living in live-in, claiming that they were threatened by the family. While hearing the case, Justice Pankaj Bhandari dismissed the petition.
Legal provisions regarding live-in relationships
In one case, the Rajasthan High Court, citing one of the Supreme Court judgments, clarified on live-in relationships that such couples should live like husband and wife. The court cited a Supreme Court judgment to say that for this relationship, both should be of marriageable age and both should also be eligible to marry.
The law does not consider live-in as a crime
If two people are living together as husband and wife and they have not married, then their relationship is called ‘Live in Relationship’. There is also a law regarding this in the whole country, including Rajasthan. Such a relationship of live-in is not recognized at the social level, and it is also considered wrong at the religious level, but in Indian law, such live-in relationship is not considered a crime.
