In a significant development the Allahabad High Court has dismissed a Writ Petition filed by a live-in couple seeking protection. Interestingly both the live-in partners were already married respectively.

Though no one appeared for the Petitioners, while for the Respondents counsel for the wife of Petitioner No. 2 appeared and submitted that the Petitioner No. 2 had already been married to his client Anita Kumari. Aadhar Card of Anita Kumari was produced in which name of Petitioner No. 2 was shown as the husband of Anita Kumari. Hence, it transpired that the aforesaid Anita Kumari was the wife of Petitioner No. 2.

The Court held thus:

As per the Hindu Marriage Act, if the spouse of a person is alive or before obtaining a decree of divorce a person cannot get married with another person. If such a relationship gets the support of the Court, it will create chaos in the society and will destroy the social fabric of our country.
