According to reports, the Kerala High Court gave permission to an 18-year-old boy and a 19-year-old girl to live together. Reportedly, while passing the order, the HC judge said, "We can't close our eyes to the fact that live-in relations are rampant in our society and such partners cannot be separated by habeas corpus."
The case came to the court after the 19-year-old girl's father filed a petition. However, since the young couple were consenting adults, they could not be legally separated by the court. The court dismissed the girl's father's plea and stated, "The girl has every right to live with the youth even outside her wedlock since the live-in relationship has been statutorily recognized by the Legislature itself,"
The landmark decision came after the Supreme Court in May passed an order to legalise living together of adult couples without the necessity of getting married.
