Can Married Persons In Live-In Relationship With Others Seek Protection Orders? Rajasthan High Court Refers To Larger Bench

The Rajasthan High Court referred a case involving live-in relationships to a larger bench for further deliberation on protection orders. The case questioned whether live-in partners could be granted legal protections similar to those offered to married couples. The court emphasized the need for a clear and uniform approach regarding the legal rights of individuals in live-in relationships. The larger bench will assess whether additional safeguards are necessary to protect the rights of such individuals, especially in cases of violence or disputes, and set legal precedents for future cases.
