"Systematic Design To Destroy...": High Court On Live-In Relationships

Live-In Relationships: "The brutish concept of changing partners in every season cannot be considered to be a hallmark of a stable and healthy society," the Allahabad High Court said.

Referring to live-in relationships, Allahabad High Court earlier this week observed that a "systematic design is working to destroy the institution of marriage in India."

The high court made the observation while granting bail to a man accused of raping his live-in partner.

The single bench of Justice Siddarth said that "the security, social acceptance and stability"which the institution of marriage provides to a person is never provided by live-in-relationship. "The brutish concept of changing partners in every season cannot be considered to be a hallmark of a stable and healthy society," he said.
