The Allahabad High Court has stated that "live-in relationships have become part and parcel of life and need to be viewed from the lens of personal autonomy rather than notions of social morality."

While disposing of two separate petitions filed by interfaith live-in couples, a division bench comprising Justice Pritinker Diwaker and Justice Ashutosh Srivastava observed, "Live-in relationships stand approved by the apex court and should be viewed from the lens of personal autonomy arising out of the right to life and personal liberty as guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution, rather than notions of social morality."
