"She Is A Major, Family Can't Restrain Her": Andhra Pradesh HC Allows Woman To Live With Same-Sex Partner

Live Law  

While hearing a habeas corpus petition wherein a woman had claimed that her female partner had been detained by her parents, the Andhra Pradesh High Court while upholding the right of women to cohabit together said that the detenue was major and her family cannot restrain her from taking her own life decisions. The division bench of Justice R. Raghunandan Rao and Justice Maheshwara Kuncheam in its order said, “In view of the fact that the detenue is a major and is free to make her own decisions about her life, neither the parents nor the other family members can restrain her from taking a decision in regard to her life. In the circumstances, this writ petition is allowed and it would be open to the detenue to go with the petitioner or take any such decision as she wishes.” The petitioner had approached the High Court contending that her partner was forcibly taken away by her family members and some other persons after the alleged detenue had filed a complaint against her parents. When the matter was taken up December 17 the high court after interacting with the detenue in chambers in its order said, "The detenue has categorically stated that she wishes to go with the petitioner and that she has no desire to prosecute any criminal case and complaint against her parents or any member of her family.
