Anti-Hindu Congress & allies are aiming to make live-in relationship legal, which is totally Anti-Hindu. Live-in relationship is outcome of Western Culture which has no meaning!
Mumbai: Terming the amendment in law which legalises live-in relationship as anti-Hindu, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has decided to launch an agitation over the issue.
BJP spokesperson Shaina NC, on Friday, expressed fear that the state government’s initiative could be grossly misused. “According to the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, there is no provision for a second wife among Hindus. Hence, enabling the mistress to get the status of a legally married wife in all matters, including share in property, inheritance, and maintenance is contrary to the Act as well as Hindu customs,” she said.
Shaina demanded that live-in relationship should not be given legal sanction. “The proposed amendment has immense potential for misuse, both by men and women.
There is a provision for maintenance in the domestic violence act, which also recognises a person in live-in relationship as a family member. There is no need of any other act,” she said.
The spokesperson further said that the government on one hand has banned dance bars because they are spoiling the social atmosphere, while on the other it is promoting illicit relationships through such amendments.
Senior BJP leader Jaywantiben Mehta also opposed the amendment. “It will have adverse effect on our values. The amendment will prove to be a loss for the women instead of gain,” she said.
The state government recently gave its nod for an amendment in section 125 of Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) paving way for legalising live-in relationship.
