Punjab and Haryana high court
CHANDIGARH: Observing that the right to choose a partner of his/her choice is a constitutional right, the Punjab and Haryana high court has made it clear that an individual has the right to formalise the relationship with the partner through marriage or adopt non-formal approach of a livein relationship.
The high court also clarified that a couple living in a livein relationship has the same right of protection that a married couple has. On the contention that a live-in relationship is not legal and is frowned upon by society, the high court held that the “life and liberty of every individual is precious and must be protected irrespective of individual views.”

My boyfriend and I have been living together for the last eight years. However, we have failed to have a child which seems to have put a strain on our relationship. Although we have worked and built a home together, he says we need to call it quits. I have been hesitating, thinking we could still make it work. To show that he is done, a month ago, he gave me Shs25 million and asked me to start a new life somewhere else. However, being 37 years old, I know it will be hard for me to meet someone else. How do I convince him to work on the relationship?
