Punjab and Haryana HC Emphasizes Child Welfare in Live-in Relationship Cases
The Punjab and Haryana High Court dismissed a live-in couple's plea for protection, emphasizing the welfare of their four children from previous marriages. The court directed the couple to open recurring deposit accounts for each child, depositing at least Rs 5,000 monthly for a year. In a related case, the court ruled that minors in live-in relationships cannot seek protection under Article 21, as their age restricts legal capacity, and courts must prioritize child welfare without endorsing unlawful relationships.
