Indian society seems more outraged than relieved by the Supreme Court statement that living long enough with a partner is as good as being married. Bangaloreans speak out

WHAT' is Bangalore's take on the SC ruling? MiD-DAY finds out.

"THE court should reconsider presuming the authenticity ofu00a0 marriage. It is beyond their means to say if the couple is married or not without proof. Certain steps need to be followed and marriage is not about merely living together. It is the acceptance of responsibilities and the knowledge of what it brings about. In this particular case, an old lady was being denied her insurance money and unless there was a registration or a ceremony to validate the marriage,u00a0 there shouldn't have been a scandal."
