The practice of live-in relationship, which is quite popular in the western countries, has entered India. As a result the cases pertaining to live-in are increasing in the country.
One such case has reached the Rajasthan High Court after a 30-year-old married woman has knocked on the doors of the High Court.
In the petition, the petitioner told the court that she is a victim of physical abuse and that is the reason why she is staying away from her spouse.
The woman who faced a failed marriage is currently having a living relationship with a man. Seeking police protection, the couple sought directives from the court.
After hearing the arguments of both sides, the single judge bench of Justice Satish Kumar Sharma has made some key comments.
The Judge said that the relationship between the woman who was married and yet to take a divorce and her partner is illicit and police protection cannot be granted for such a relationship.
The Rajasthan High Court had mentioned how the Allahabad High Court gave the same order while hearing a similar case.
A similar case has reached the Allahabad High Court after a woman who was already married moved the court seeking police protection.
Saying that she and her live-in partner are having threats from the family members, the married woman sought directives to provide protection.
The division bench of Allahabad High Court heard the petition and gave a similar verdict saying that such illicit relationships cannot be encouraged.
The High Court observed that a married woman without seeking divorce from her spouse having a live-in relationship should be considered illicit and providing police protection will encourage such relationships.
The division bench also said that relationships that can hinder the social fabric of the country cannot be encouraged at any cost.
There are certain similarities between the two cases that have reached the respective High Courts. Both the petitioners are very much married and developed a live-in relationship with their partners.
Irrespective of their reasons for this, they requested the High Court to grant security for them which was turned down by the court.
