Indian Court Rules That Any Couple Who Made Love Are Legally Married by Nobody: 10:08pm On Jun 29, 2013
Indian court rules that any
couple who made love are
legally married... and would
need to divorce if they want
to sleep with someone else.
If an unmarried couple made love they are considered
husband and wife - and would
have to ‘divorce’ if they split,
an Indian court has ruled.
When two people of legal age,
18 for a woman and 21 for a man, ‘indulge in sexual
gratification’ this should be
seen as a 'an act of total
commitment' and marriage by
law, a judge at Madras High
Court said. The court said that the
registering of a marriage as
well as a wedding ceremony
were only formalities to gain
society’s approval. It also said that once two
people made love this
‘becomes a total commitment
with adherence to all
consequences that may
follow’, including needing a decree of divorce should they
want to sleep with someone
else.
In addition, should either of
the two wish to register the
‘marriage’ they can have their marital status declared by a
Family Court as long as they
can supply proof of a sexual
relationship.
Once declared by the court,
the person can be established as the other’s spouse –
whether the other party
approves or not.
‘Legal rights applicable to
normal wedded couples will
also be applicable to couples who have had sexual
relationships which are
established,’ the court declared
in their ruling obtained by The
Hindu.
The verdict came in a spousal maintenance case where a
lower court had ruled that a
woman was not entitled to
maintenance from the father
of her two children as there
was no proof of their marriage.
Justice C.S. Karnan ruled that
legal documents proving the
couple’s life as spouses were
more important than proof of
marriage. In this case the man had
signed the ‘live birth report’
for the couple’s second child
and thereby officially
declaring the woman as his
wife. Judge Karnan said the couple
‘led their marital life under the
same shelter and begot two
children.
'Therefore, the petitioner’s
rank has been elevated as the "wife" of the respondent and
likewise, the respondent’s
rank has been elevated as the
"husband" of the petitioner.‘
The man was ordered to pay
the woman 500 rupees a month in maintenance as well
as maintenance for their two
children.

The world is full of immorality. No wonder the bible even recognised this world as an ADULTERIOUS and sinful world. Pre marital and extra marital affairs have won many souls to the devil. We need to curb and reduce if not eradicate (which is not that possible) this act of immorality but the change startes from us, the change starts from we the nairalanders, the change startes from you and me. Say no to immorality at all cost!
