The Bombay High Court's Nagpur bench has ruled that a husband's girlfriend cannot be considered a 'relative' under domestic violence laws, thereby exempting her from charges under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). This decision clarifies the legal interpretation of 'relative' in the context of domestic violence cases. The ruling is significant as it sets a precedent for similar cases in the future.
