Allahabad HC on Live-ins: Concerns Over Exploitation in False Marriage Cases

Allahabad HC on Live-ins: Concerns Over Exploitation in False Marriage Cases

The Allahabad High Court is talking about live-in relationships.

They think it goes against the way society works, especially for middle-class families.

The court is worried because some men promise to marry women, have relationships, and then break up.

This can be unfair to women.

In a separate case, another court said that if two adults agree to have sex, it's not rape, even if there was a broken promise of marriage.

The courts are trying to tell the difference between a real crime and people using the law to get back at each other.
