Today, in the matter of Mamta Rani vs Union of India, the Supreme Court of India rejected a Petition seeking to form Guidelines for the registration of live-in relationships and for the social security of citizens who are in such relationships.
"Are you trying to foster the security of these people or not let people be in live-in relationships? Costs should be imposed on these petitions. Just hare-brained petitions; that is all," the CJI remarked before dismissing the plea.
"Time and again this Hon’ble Court has been the protector of the live-in partners and has passed a numerous number of judgments which is having the effect of giving protection to the members of the live-in partnership be it the women, men or even the children born out of such relationship," the plea said.
The petitioner also talked about the increasing crime rate by live-in partners, including major crimes like rape and murder, due to the absence of rules and guidelines covering live-in partnerships.
