The top court cautioned that a boy and girl are total strangers before marriage, urging care in pre-marital physical relationships during a bail hearing.

This particular couple has been together for over four decades, proving that lasting relationships still exist in a world often driven by headlines and fleeting romances. What makes their journey special is not just the length of their marriage, but the simplicity of how it all started. Long before fame, stardom and red carpets entered the picture, their story began with something as unexpected as a prank phone call. The actor, then struggling and chasing auditions, found himself drawn to a voice on the other end of the line, unaware that this small moment would shape the rest of his life.

The Supreme Court on Monday said a boy and a girl before marriage are “total strangers" and they should be cautious while indulging in pre-marital physical relationships.

A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and Ujjal Bhuyan, which was hearing the bail plea of a man accused of rape on a false promise of marriage, questioned the woman why she travelled all the way to Dubai where they indulged in physical relationship.

“It’s consensual. We may be old-fashioned but a boy and girl before marriage are total strangers. They should be circumspect in indulging in physical relationships before marriage," the bench observed.

“Whatever may be the thick and thin of their relationship, we fail to understand how they can be indulging in physical relationship before marriage. Maybe we are old- fashioned but you must be very careful, nobody should believe anybody before marriage," Justice Nagarathna said.
