The Kerala High Court reserved orders on the anticipatory bail plea of social media personality Monalisa Bhosle and her husband Mohammed Farmaan Khan, while orally observing that the couple was fortunate to be in Kerala amid alleged threats arising from their interfaith marriage in Madhya Pradesh.
The Allahabad High Court has ordered police protection for an interfaith live-in couple after their minor daughter reported threats from her mother’s former in-laws. Citing Supreme Court rulings, the court affirmed that live-in relationships between consenting adults are legal, and directed police to ensure the couple’s safety and register their complaints.
The Uttarakhand High Court has revoked a directive requiring an interfaith couple in a live-in relationship to register under the yet-to-be-implemented Uniform Civil Code (UCC) of Uttarakhand. The court had earlier granted police protection on this condition but modified the order after learning that the UCC had not been notified despite Presidential assent.
