In which of the following cases, the Supreme Court held that "Living together under one roof as husband and wife does not give the status of a husband and wife."?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The observation appears in Surjit Kaur. The claimed customary marriage was not established merely by living together; the alleged custom and necessary ceremonies had not been proved. This case-specific statement does not abolish the rebuttable evidentiary presumption that can arise from sufficiently long cohabitation and reputation in an appropriate case.
