Allahabad HC Denies Protection To Live-In Couple

The Allahabad High Court refused protection to a live-in couple, noting the woman is still legally married. The court said personal liberty cannot override a spouse’s statutory rights and declined to endorse an “illicit relationship.” It advised the woman to legally separate first and ruled that no mandamus can be issued against existing law.
