Presumption of marriage in Live-in Relationship, rules SC

The Supreme Court in its ruling on the live-in relationship, has ruled that there is a presumption of marriage between those who are in living relationship for a long time and this cannot be termed as '' Walking-in and walking-out'' relationship. A bench comprising Justices P Sathasivam and Dr B S Chauhan, gave the ruling, while dismissing an appeal in a property dispute. Justice Chauhan, in his judgement for the bench noted the live-in relationship if continued for such a long time cannot be termed in as ' Walk in and Walkout' relationship and there is a presumption of marriage between them which the appellant failed to rebut. All the lower courts ruled in favour of the children born out of this live-in relationship.
