‘Islam doesn’t allow live-in relationship for a married Muslim’

Allahabad HC’s Lucknow bench has held that a follower of Islam cannot be in a live-in relationship, particularly if his spouse is alive. “Islamic tenets do not permit live-in-relationship during a subsisting marriage. The position may be different if the two persons are unmarried and the parties, being adults, choose to lead their lives in a way of their own,” said the bench.
