Indian court rules that any couple who made love are legally married... and will have to divorce if they wish to sleep with someone else.
If an unmarried couple made love they are considered husband and wife - and will have to ‘divorce'when they split, an Indian court has ruled.
When two folks of legal age, 18 for a female and 21 for a man, ‘indulge in se-xual gratification'this would be viewed as a'an act of total commitment'and marriage by law, a judge at Madras High Court said.
The court stated that the registering of a relationship in addition to a marriage ceremony were only formalities to get society's approval.
Additionally, it said that once a couple made love this ‘becomes a total commitment with adherence to all consequences that'll follow ', including needing a decree of divorce should they wish to sleep with someone else.
Furthermore, should either of the two need to register the ‘marriage'they could have their marital status declared with a Family Court as long as they could supply proof a s-exual relationship.
