JUDGEMENT (DECISION) -:

CONCLUSION:

Even if a man and a woman portray themselves as husband and wife and society treats them as husband and wife, simply living together as husband and wife does not confer the status of husband and wife. For a marriage to be valid, the necessary and mandatory ceremonies according to religious beliefs and community practices must be performed.
