In a rude shock to live-in partners, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has refused to give protection to a young couple, stating that live-in relationships are not socially and morally acceptable. The High Court’s ruling bypasses the orders of the Supreme Court.
While the Supreme Court has justified the matter of providing security to couples living in or wishing to live-in, the High Court has refused to provide protection to a young man and woman who filed a petition after fleeing from their families.
The man, hailing from Tarn Taran in Punjab, and the woman, a resident of Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, in their petition have sought protection for their life and liberty until they get married. They have stated that they are both adults and of marriageable age, but their families are refusing to marry them. The woman’s family has kept the certificates which are proof of her age, which is why they are not able to get married at the moment.
However, after listening to the arguments, the High Court said that their petition only seeks a seal of approval for their live-in relationship, which is neither socially nor morally recognized. ‘By affirming such a relationship, the High Court cannot provide protection to both,’ with this comment, the High Court dismissed the petition.
