The Kerala High Court recently stated that the law does not recognise live-in relationships as marriage and that when two parties choose to cohabitate based solely on an agreement, rather than in accordance with any personal law or the Special Marriage Act, they cannot claim that their decision constitutes a marriage or file for divorce. Live-in relationships have not yet received legal recognition, according to a division bench of Justices A Muhamed Mustaque and Sophy Thomas. The law only recognises a relationship as valid if marriage is solemnised in accordance with personal law or secular law, such as the Special Marriage Act. Live-In Relationship Does Not Give One License To Post Objectionable Messages and Pictures of Live-In Partner, Says Allahabad High Court.
