The Madhya Pradesh High Court has approved financial support to a woman in a live-in relationship following a breakup, stirring controversy

The Madhya Pradesh High Court made a big decision on Saturday. They said that women who have lived with a partner for a long time should get money if they separate, even if they were not married.

This happened because someone challenged a court’s decision. A man was told to give Rs 1,500 every month to a woman he lived with for a long time and had a child with. The High Court said that even if they were not married, the woman should still get money if they lived together for a long time.

The court’s decision was made by Justice JS Ahluwalia. He said that living together for a long time is like being married, so the woman should get financial help. He also said that if the woman helped with money or work during their time together, she should get money after they split up. They also said the woman should get money because they had a child together.

This decision is important because it recognizes the rights of women in relationships where they live together but aren’t married. Even though these relationships aren’t seen as marriages, this decision helps women who may have spent a long time in the relationship, giving up things like jobs or money.

But we have to remember that this decision is only for this case. It might not be the same in other cases across the country.

This decision has started talks about the rights of people in relationships where they live together. Some people think that money should only be given if there’s a child. Others ask why women can’t support themselves. These talks show that relationships and money are complicated topics.
