Allahabad HC Upholds Live-in-Relationships, Criticizes State Morality Stance

The Allahabad High Court has ruled that adults in live-in relationships should be protected by the state, regardless of social norms.

The court said that the state should not interfere based on morality but should uphold the law.

This judgment comes after the state of Uttar Pradesh argued that live-in relationships go against Indian social values.

The court also noted that recent laws, like Uttarakhand's Uniform Civil Code, are trying to regulate these relationships.

However, the judgment did not fully address the concerns of interfaith couples in live-in relationships.

The court emphasized that adults have the right to choose their partners, and the law should support this freedom.
