Allahabad HC expresses anguish over burden of live-in relationship cases
Expressing anguish over burden of live-in relationship cases, the Allahabad High Court recently said it was ‘fed up’ with such cases, especially after the Supreme Court had legalised the same.
While hearing a bail application of a person accused of rape of a minor on the false promise of marriage, a Bench of Justice Siddharth observed that the concept of live-in relationships was against the “settled law in the Indian middle-class society”.
The accused, booked under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, was in jail since February 2025.
