Bombay High Court allows Hindu woman in live-in relationship with Muslim man to choose her path
Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Friday permitted a Hindu woman, who is in a live-in relationship with a Muslim man, to make her own decisions regarding her life, despite objections from her parents who alleged coercion and undue influence.
A Bench comprising Justices Bharati Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande refused to grant custody of the woman to her partner but acknowledged her autonomy, stating, “We are setting her on liberty...Let her do what she wants. She is of the opinion that it’s her life. We can only wish her luck.”
The Court addressed concerns raised by the woman’s parents and their counsel, who argued that she was acting under emotional sway and undue influence. Despite the Court's earlier suggestion that the woman stay with her parents for a year to reconsider her decision, she declined, expressing her clear intent to continue living independently.
The woman was moved to a government shelter home in Chembur following complaints from her parents and members of the Bajrang Dal, who opposed her relationship. The police had intervened, placing her in the Shaskriya Stree Bhishekari Khikar Kendra (Government Women’s Hostel).
Subsequently, the woman's partner filed a petition in the High Court, contending that her relocation to the shelter home violated her autonomy. The petition asserted that the woman had repeatedly affirmed her decision to live with him was voluntary, informed, and free from any external pressure or coercion.
