"had sex? you're married"

[DrLeftover]

Indian court rules that any couple who have sex are legally married... and would need to divorce if they want to sleep with someone else

Any couple who have sex to be considered married, Madras High Court rules
This means they would also need to divorce should they break up
Either of them could register the 'marriage' if they can prove they had sex
The legal registration could be done without the other persons approval

Now that's just asking for trouble.

Although, to be fair, it does sound a little more sensible given only the last paragraph.

What type of proof do they need? The used condom? What about a woman raped. Is she then "married" to the rapist?

I would assume so.

Seriously. What's to stop a male or female from "saying" they had sex with a person? Maybe they'll do it because the innocent person is wealthy or just want to get back at an ex. This is plain crazy shit.

I would have had a lot of husbands but I never leave behind trace evidence.

So you didn't go to school with Monica?

No but I learned from her mistake.

How many is "a lot" ?

Maybe we should move further discussion to "Taboo".
