thebalanced.newsAllahabad High Court Denies Protection to Interfaith Live-in Couple Due to Age Restrictions
The Allahabad High Court declined to protect an interfaith couple in a live-in relationship, citing that courts cannot indirectly endorse a marriage-like arrangement barred by law since the male partner is under 21. Justice Garima Prashad noted that live-in relationships used as alternatives to marriage, when marriage is legally impermissible due to age restrictions, cannot receive judicial support. The court emphasized that such protection would effectively sanction an impermissible marriage-like union.
