"The law is clear. The problem is the idea of societal acceptance. The fact that we talk about live-in relationships in this framing. Men have killed their wives over trivial issues. Women are getting killed irrespective of what they do. The way these crimes are reported, the focus is overwhelmingly on the live-in relationships as a cautionary tale. Women are getting killed even if they conform to all the societal norms," said Rohitha Naraharisetty, associate editor, The Swaddle, when asked to comment on the law pertaining to live-in relationships. Shraddha Walkar, who met Aftab Poonawala on a dating app, was murdered by her boyfriend.
