It is up to me how should I live my life. We just have to make youth aware that even if they live together they should keep our tradition and values," he added.In its order yesterday, Rajasthan Human Rights Commission had said, "It is imperative to stop the practice of live-in relationships, and it is the responsibility of the State and Central government to prohibit it,"It had further said that the "concubine" life of a woman cannot be termed as a dignified life.( With inputs from ANI )
