Allahabad High Court Rejects Protection Plea Of Married Individuals In Inter-Faith Live-In Relationship With ₹50K Cost

The Allahabad High Court dismissed a protection plea filed by married individuals in an inter-faith live-in relationship, ruling that their right to live together was not absolute. The petitioners, a couple involved in an inter-faith relationship, sought protection from their families and authorities. However, the Court ruled that while the right to live together is a personal choice, it does not override societal and legal norms. The Court further imposed a cost of ₹50,000 on the petitioners for filing a plea without sufficient grounds. It emphasized the need for legal and social harmony, particularly in inter-faith relationships, where issues of family consent and societal expectations are involved.
