UIn the Uttarakhand HC case on UCC, the petitioner argued privacy violations, but the court dismissed it, saying:
“You are brazenly living together without marriage. What privacy is invaded?”
India still has a regressive mindset where pre-marital relationships are frowned upon, sometimes even leading to ostracization or violence. Opposite genders might also live together without being in a relationship. Even if I am in one, I don’t want the government maintaining a registry of all my past relationships. Also, importantly, the clause on maintainance will discourage couples who want to test the water before a marriage or even those who are just into no – strings attached relationships.
1. What are the weaknesses in the HC’s argument from a legal standpoint?
2. What is the best legal reasoning to challenge this law and get it stayed or revoked? Is that feasible, and how long could it take, given that it puts many people at risk?
Would love insights from legal minds!
