Andhra HC unites same sex couple, upholds right to live together

The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday, December 17, united a lesbian couple, in which one partner was held forcefully by her parents.

The AP police have been directed to provide security to the couple, if required, to ensure no parental interference in their



constitutional right to live together.

The verdict came based on the habeas corpus petition filed by a 25-year-old woman, a native of Krishna Lanka of Krishna district, over her 27-year-old same-sex partner being held captive by her parents, against the partner’s will.
