Allahabad, Jan 20: The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a married woman living with another person without divorcing husband will not be entitled for protection from the court.
Petitioners Asha Devi and Suraj Kumar had moved the court contending that they both are adults living as husband and wife , and so no one should interfere in their lives.
Opposing the petition, the state counsel mentioned that Asha Devi was earlier married to Mahesh Chandra and has started living with Suraj Kumar without obtaining divorce which is an offence and thus is not entitled to any protection.
