Views : Live- in relationship was approved by the Supreme Court . If the live-in relationship has legal validity , then what is the need of a conventional Marriage ? The man or woman entering into the physical relationship at their own choice. They have equal responsibility of its short comings.
As per the law , Man can be prosecuted by the law of Rape, if he fails to marry the woman after the physical relationship. However, Woman can leave the man after the physical relationship for a better choice.
The outdated law should be changed. Unfortunately , law makers has little time to make the law process. They busy with other activities .
Now , Judges has to make the law also apart from the interpreting of the law.
Pre-marital sex not shocking, every breach of promise to marry is not rape: Bombay HC
The court said a major and educated girl was expected to know the demands of her body and the consequences of sexual relationships.
MUMBAI: In one of the most significant verdicts delivered in 2014 on an issue that reveals a society in transition, the Bombay high court has ruled that every breach of promise to marry is not rape and pre-marital sex between couples is no longer shocking in India's big cities.
The observations came earlier this year during the hearing of an anticipatory bail application filed by a Nashik resident, Rahul Patil, who was booked on charges of cheating and rape following a complaint filed by his former girlfriend Seema Deshmukh.
Seema, who claimed she was pregnant with Rahul's child, said despite promising to marry her, he had married another girl. Rahul claimed the relationship was consensual, and they could not marry as they belonged to different religions. Rahul and Seema, both lawyers, knew each other since 1999 and had a physical relationship since 2006. Seema claimed he had promised to marry her. In 2009, when he said he could not, she had tried to commit suicide. They continued physical relations even after that.
