For palimony, prove it's not just sex, says Supreme Court

Vaidyanathan, Kekti Angre, Sam Daniel, Updated: October 21, 2010 19:18 IST

While a lower court is yet to decide whether this was a valid live-in relationship, the Supreme Court has said that to qualify for palimony, the couple must have voluntarily cohabited and presented themselves to the world as "akin to spouses for a significant period of time."

The court has also said that both partners must be single.

''It's going to weaken other precedents which have come and which have been progressive ...Wife's rights have to be maintained but also the live-in partner, who has obviously taken care of the person ... cannot be just used and thrown out,'' says women's rights activist Sonya Gill.

The Supreme Court is also hearing another case which has presented a Constitutional conflict.

On one hand, the Domestic Violence Act says a woman in any relationship in the nature of marriage can claim maintenance.

But the Criminal Procedure Code limits the right to a wife.

They used common sense here, but the Domestic Violence Act criminal procedure code is still sexist, because it limits the right only to a wife, not a husband.

But it's perfectly fine, and promoted by feminists, for women to throw men out - not just of the home, but of the family...

Sounds about right to me, I mean if you are just cohabitating with a chick that you are banging and nothing more then it is by no means a mariage and the chick in question should not get anything from the man other then what he is willing to give her.

FIY, India has never qualified for male-friendly, it's much closer to 'male-FIENDly'. India has some very radical laws that are incredibly bigotted and hostile against males.

On top of that, they still cut off the hands of those who steal. The water quality in that country is one of the worst in the world and they've even gone so far as to castrate men and women. How the hell do you castrate women?

Indeed - If ever there was a land where "Mother In Law' jokes turn sinister, it is India - particularly the burning of Brides with Inadequate Dowries in cooking fire 'accidents.
