Jaipur (Rajasthan) – The Rajasthan High Court has clarified that if both the persons are adults (above 18 years of age) and they voluntarily decide to live together, even if they are not of legal age for marriage (18 for a girl and 21 for a boy), they have the right to live in a ‘live-in relationship’. The Court stated that their Constitutional rights cannot be restricted only because they haven’t crossed the legal marriageable age.
What is the matter ?
An 18-year-old girl and a 19-year-old boy from Kota (Rajasthan) had sought protection. Both told the Court that they were living together of their own free will and had entered into a ‘live-in relationship’ agreement on October 27th, 2025. The girl’s family did not approve of the relationship and threatened them. Both said that the Kota Police did not take any action on their complaint.
Government lawyers said that since the young man was under 21 years of age, he could not be approved for a ‘live-in’ relationship.
Court orders Police protection to both
The Court rejected this argument and said that the right to life and personal liberty is Constitutional and cannot be taken away just because the age of marriage has not been completed. The Court also clarified that live-in relationships are neither prohibited nor considered a crime under Indian law. The Court also directed the Police to provide protection to the two.
