Can department take an action against me as this is not a case of bigamy but live-in relationship?
2 years ago
I am a central govt. married employee and living in live-in-partner relationship having two childern with her, recently my legally wedded wife filed a request to my department regarding disciplinary action against me for violation of Rule 21 of CCS Conduct Rule. Can department take an action against me as this is not a case of bigamy?
A.Dear Client,
Yes, the department can take action as in Rule 21 of CCS conduct rule it is clearly written that no married employee will enter into or contact any other marriage. The defence is always there but the defence can only be taken when your religious personal law permits it and when you present some other valid ground for entering into other contract of marriage. But again if we go by ruling of Supreme Court it is settled precedent that the live-in relation between a married person and unmarried person is invalid.
Thank You.

A.You will Keeping in view all the recent judgments of the different hon'ble courts wherein live-in relationship has been seen at equal footing with the marriage your live-in will be be considered akin to marriage more so when you have two children with the live-in relationship.
