The Allahabad High Court has emphasized the need to address live-in relationships, asserting that they lack social sanction and urging the development of a framework to preserve moral values. The court's observations reflect concerns about the growing attraction of youths to such relationships, which the bench noted allows individuals to evade responsibilities toward their partners. This follows a recent dismissal by the Kerala High Court of appeals from two men convicted under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code for sexually abusing a minor boy, reaffirming the trial court's findings. The Delhi High Court also made remarks regarding the dynamics of marital relationships, highlighting that only women seem to suffer in these contexts.
