π¬ Client Question:
"Sir, we’re in a live-in relationship. Is it legal in India? Will we face any problems in society or court?" π¬
π Answer:
Welcome to modern love with legal logic! π
Yes, live-in relationships are absolutely legal in India, as long as both partners are adults and enter the relationship voluntarily.
π§⚖️ Indian courts have repeatedly upheld live-in relationships under the right to life and personal liberty (Article 21 of the Constitution of India).
✔️ No marriage certificate required
✔️ No criminal offence for living together without marriage
✔️ Courts recognise live-in relationships for certain rights (inheritance, maintenance, domestic violence protection, etc.)
