I AGREE with the fact that it is the personal decision for a man and a woman, who are in love whether to live together or not. It is part of their Right to life, and not a criminal sin. But this is acceptable only for adults and not for adolescents. Our society, traditional values and morals are joining hands with modernization and making it more flexible society.
Supreme Court's verdict on live-in relationships has been welcomed by the couples, who are living-in, but people who have high respect for traditions will still remain on the other side.
Talking about Prostitution, it is illegal in India, but do we see a reduction in the number of brothels in the country? Can we legalize this practice in India, which prevailing for decades now? Same holds for the live-in relationships.
One big question is that if a living-in couple want same rights as married couples, why not they get married then? There are many grey areas. Will the law treat single, married men cohabiting with a woman and married women cohabiting with a man in the same way? How long the woman or man have to be in live-in to qualify for maintenance? If a live-in couple has a child and later decide to part ways, what will be the future of child? Why an innocent child will suffer without any mistake?
India still survives and prospers on her traditions and values. Supreme Court's recent verdict on live-in relationship between two adults seems to overlook traditional Indian values. India is developing with each day technically, scientifically and in many more areas but here the Supreme Court judgement went wrong.
