The Allahabad High Court on Monday said that the 2021 Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act does not prohibit live-in relationships among interfaith couples, The Indian Express reported.
The bench of Justice Vivek Kumar Singh made the observation while hearing 12 petitions filed by Hindu and Muslim women seeking police protection after allegedly receiving threats for being in a live-in relationship with men from another religious community.
The court said that it does not view the couples as Hindu and Muslim, and instead as two adults who consensually live together for a considerable time, PTI reported.
