The marriage and property relations are governed by personal law viz. Hindu, Muslim etc. the marriage by customs of religious community is generally recognized. But now there are many couples living together without formal marriage. This is called Live in relation. The judicial opinion seems to be recognizing such relation as lawful marital relation. The question is how these relations should be dealt- under religious personal law of male or female partner and what wold e the status of children. I think that the personal law applicable to male should be applicable in such live in relationship. The minimum period of living in together should be one year or even earlier if a child is born. As this is a socially important issue, due consideration and thought is necessary.

An issue to be discussed in serious.So I am not able to put some comment on this serious matter.
Lubna KP. Matter is definitely serious. But you can think. The issue is- living as married couple without formal marriage- is it ok- can we accept it- what will be position ocf children. Just think slowly and you will get some thoughts. As a citizen, you should also spare some thoughts. I think now you may give your views. You may take your own time.

I am completely in opposition of this act. I think there shouldn't be any live in relations.
These type of relations are spoiling the mentality of youth and also effecting their lives, though it is at its height at few places.
I think this should be banned.

I agree with you to a great extent. When a man and woman decide to live together, they should have no problem in going through a small ceremony in temple, mosque or church or in a civil court. But we should not streightway ban the relation. If the couple have some children also, they should not be penalized. such couples can be required to go through wedding ceremony even after they have lived in for a few years. he ceremonies should however be inexpensive

I dont know how to comment in this topic but some time infavour of this and some time I am against of this.
This is there own and personal decision but it will harm our society
There is a large flow of population from villages to cities and the metropolitan cities. Any couple living as man and wife are deemed to be husband and wife- married or not. Nobody verifies the fact of marriage ceremony. If a man and a woman come to me and ask for some room on rent, I cannot ask them to show their marriage certificate. I have to accept them as married couple. This is the reason for growing live in relations. at many places, people do not rent accommodation to single men or women. So they have no option but to present themselves as married and begin living together as if they are married. Such relation gives rise to live in relations. Many times, these are stronger than formal marriage. If a couple have lived together for a considerable period, say five years, their relation should be accepted.

The Supreme court has ruled that anything that is immoral need not be an offence. In a case pertaining to a Tamilnadu actress' expression of views regarding live in relations and premarital sex, the apex court has held that there is nothing unlawful about live in relations as well as premarital sex. No body can be punished by law for expressing views favoring premarital sex and live in relations.

While the Apex Court has cleared the air about the legal aspect the moral one still remains and in our country marriage customs and traditions are too strong to allow this werstern concept to be accepted and accorded social recognition and that to a great extent explains why this kind of loose relations is evidently confined to the upper stratum of our society.The common would always frown upon this.

India is a country who has supported relations between humans of the same gender.

I would not wonder if one day live-on relations are legally and socially accepted in India.
