Live-in relationships part and parcel of life now: Allahabad HC

Live-in relations have become part and parcel of life and need to be seen from the perspective of personal autonomy and not the social morality, the Allahabad High Court has said.

A bench of justices Pritinker Diwaker and Ashutosh Srivastava gave this ruling on Tuesday while disposing of the pleas by two live-in couples, who had alleged that in both cases, girls’ families had been interfering in their day-to-day lives.

“Live-in relationships have become part and parcel of life and stand approved by the Hon’ble Apex Court,” the bench said.

“Accordingly, the live-in relationship is required to be viewed from the lens of personal autonomy arising out of the right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution of India rather than the notions of social morality,” the bench added.
