Supreme Court on Live in Relationship: Drifting away from Hindu Marriage act?

Live in relationship has come up as an answer to the throttling clauses of the Hindu marriage act and the cheating, "buiseness" and "politics" of marriage prevalent in our society which leads almost allways to unequal marriage.
Though I am sure every one will agree with my above remark but for those who frown on my terms "buiseness" and "politics" in marriage, please re- analyse and if still not agreeing, please see any of the serials on any of the channels and if any one of them have theme other than marriage, please inform me.
Recent supreme court verdicts are path- breaking.

So, are we becoming better? Life as a couple (married?) easier? Or we are headed towards more chaos? If we go on this way, will we not increase the number of spincetres and orphans . . . lawlessness? . . . And increasing burden on the courts and income of the lawyers?

Or, is it not time to mend Hindu marriage act before it becomes too late to make it broad based and make it all inclusive? Or are we going to let people carry on their way to make law a mute spectator? . . . And after some time accept the way of living as supreme court accepted the Live - in - Relationship legal?
Also funny is use of the term "kept" which from my childhood I have been under the impresion that its an unparlimentary word.

Although I know that even the bad words have some meaninng and have place in life and law and medicine deals with abnormal conditions of life and so these words do have some place, but one expects the "best" from the supreme court.
