Live In Relationship | Married Man In Live-In Relationship: 1 Court, 2 Cases, 2 Different Stands

In a striking legal contrast, the Allahabad High Court has delivered two different rulings within days on live-in relationships involving married individuals. While a single-judge bench denied protection to a couple, stating that no live-in relationship is valid without divorce, a division bench later observed that such relationships are not a criminal offence under the law. The conflicting views highlight the complex intersection of personal liberty, marital rights, and societal morality. With the matter set for further hearing, the debate over law versus morality remains far from settled. Apurva Adhikari and Muskan brings you the details.
