Indra Sarma vs V.K.V.Sarma on 26 November, 2013

In Indra Sarma v V.K.V. Sarma (2013) 15 SCC 755, the Apex Court was considering the legal rights involved under the live-in relationship in the light of the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005. It was held that all live-in relationships are not in the nature of marriage. It was held that it only means a relationship with some inherent or essential characteristics of a marriage though not a marriage legally recognised. Certain guidelines had been laid down for testing as to under what circumstance, it fall within the expression "relationship in the nature of marriage". However, these judgments may not have application to the facts of the present case, as we are to answer a question whether the relationship between the parties amounts to a legal marriage. Once it is found that there is no legal marriage and they were living together based on Ext.A1 agreement, it could only be treated as, at the most, a live-in relationship.

George Sebastian Alias Joy vs Molly Joseph Alias Nish on 20 July, 1994

In George Sebastian v. Molly Joseph (1994 (2) KLT 387 (FB)), it was held that marriage among Christians is not a contract but a sacrament. The sacrament is based on the faith that it was instituted by Jesus Christ and entrusted to the church for the purpose of contributing to the manifestation of ecclesian communion with God. Acquisition of a legal status of a marriage should be according to custom or the provisions of an enactment. Only if such a marriage is over, the legal status will be acquired by the concerned person. Where there is a statute governing the area the statute will have primacy over any person involved in that regard.
