Two adult girls, who said that they were in a relationship, were allowed to live together by a court in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur district.

The girl was later found to be living with her girlfriend in Shahabad area in the district.

On being queried the two informed the cops that there had been in 'live in' relationship and that they did not want to live with their respective families.

''It was found that they (girls) had been living together for past several days,'' said a police official in Rampur.

He said that the family members of the two girls were informed about their relationship. Their families tried their best to persuade the girls to break their relationship and return home but they remained adamant about living together.

''Since both of them were adults, we could not have forced them to go back with their families,'' said a senior police official in Rampur.

Sources said that the girls were produced before a local magistrate, who after hearing them, allowed them to live together.
