LIVE-IN-RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MARRIED AND UNMARRIED PERSON IS NOT PERMISSIBLE: RAJASTHAN HIGH COURT The Rajasthan High Court recently observed that live-in-relationship between a married and unmarried person is not permissible (Rashika Khandal v. State of Rajasthan). The court was hearing a plea by a couple who sought protection of life and liberty.  A single-Judge bench of Justice Pankaj Bhandari noted that the Petitioner no. 2 (Hemant Singh Rathore) is already married, and such protection cannot be granted to the couple when one of them is married. The Court observed that one of the pre-requisites for a live-in-relationship as held by the Supreme Court in D Velusamy v. D Patchaiammal is that the couple must be unmarried.
