The Punjab and Haryana High Court has held that if custody of a child is granted to a person in a “live-in” relationship without dissolution of previous marriage, there are chances that the child would learn that live-in relationships are the way of life. The court passed the order and dismissed an appeal filed by a Hisar resident challenging the decision of a family court Hisar on child custody. The court cannot approve this kind of social set up, because it would give a wrong signal to the society at large and would create an adverse impact on the tender mind of the minor child, especially a girl child,” the bench observed in its detailed order.

The Supreme Court said that marrying a second time on the basis of a “customary divorce” from the first wife will render the second marriage invalid as the law stipulates that a man and woman are permitted to tie the nuptial knot only if they do not have a living spouse. This decision came in the case of an inter-caste marriage solemnised in 2010. The marriage developed strains allegedly because of the husband’s drunken habits and matrimonial torture inflicted on the wife. While leaving for her parental home with her belongings, she discovered a marriage dissolution deed of her husband from his first wife and later moved a Pune court seeking her marriage to be declared void.
