Topic: live in relationship in India : relevant laws and amendment abstract ABSTRACT
In India, live-in relationships are increasingly seen as an uncomplicated alternative to marriage. This type of relationship involves an unmarried couple living together. At first glance, it appears to be a carefree companionship without any legal obligations; however, there are numerous complexities, responsibilities, and legal implications involved. Recent efforts have been made to regulate it under certain laws. This arrangement is no longer prohibited in India, and several decisions by the Supreme Court have clarified rules regarding child support, property, and legal recognition. Nonetheless, this issue remains contentious in India. There are many unresolved areas, such as official documentation, cultural challenges, property rights, rights related to wills and gifts, religious implications, the LGBT community, and more, that need careful consideration. The primary aim of this article is to utilize secondary sources to help readers grasp the concept of live-in relationships. Subsequently, an attempt was made to explore the challenges and issues faced by couples through a descriptive and analytical approach. Ultimately, the paper argues that if couples choose to cohabitate, there should be a separate, secular law crafted that considers gender equality.
