Supreme court; public figure's live-in relationship would amount to defamation.
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday said that live-in relationship has become accepted norm in society and it can not be termed as an offence.
"In the present modern time live-in relationship has become an acceptable norm. It is not a crime," the court said.
A bench of justices Dipak Mishra and Prafulla C Pant made the remarks while asking the government whether exposing a public figure's live-in relationship would amount to defamation.
