Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has said that a live-in-relationship is morally and socially unacceptable while dismissing a petition filed by a runaway couple seeking protection.
In a petition, Gulza Kumari, 19 and Gurwinder Singh, 22 had stated that they were residing together and intended to get married shortly. They claimed danger to their lives from Kumari’s parents, said media reports quoting PTI.
“As a matter of fact, the petitioners in the garb of filing the present petition are seeking seal of approval on their live-in-relationship, which is morally and socially not acceptable and no protection order in the petition can be passed. The petition stands dismissed accordingly,” Justice HS Madaan said in his May 11 order.
According to petitioner’s counsel JS Thakur, Singh and Kumari were living together in Tarn Taran district. He said Kumari’s parents, who are in Ludhiana, did not approve of their relationship.
