Live-in concealment offence

Should concealing a live-in relationship or child from a prospective spouse be treated as a criminal offence?

📍 Kerala, India

The Kerala High Court ruled in October 2026 that hiding a live-in relationship and a child with another person from a prospective bride can amount to obtaining consent by 'deceitful means' under Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The provision deals with sexual intercourse on a false promise or by deceit.
