Supreme Court judgment on live-in kids gets wide applause

Deccan Chronicle  

Hyderabad: People welcomed the Supreme Court’s ruling that a child born to a couple who were in a live-in relationship should not be denied property rights. Describing the relationship, which could be regretted as ‘error’ on the part of parents should not place the burden of responsibility on mother and offspring born in such a relationship should not suffer. Similar was the view expressed by Progressive Organisation for Women state president, G. Jhansi who welcomed the judgement while referring to the ‘innocence’ of being born to parents who were not married. Meanwhile, Jaya Vindhyala, an activist, termed this as nothing new as ‘illegitimate’ children were already given rights from the father’s property, through a constitutional amendment a few years ago.
