Live-in relationships are becoming more popular in India as a convenient alternative to marriage. It is defined as domestic cohabitation between an adult couples who are not married. Although the connection appears to be stress-free and without legal obligations when we think of it as a layman and see superficially, there are various complexities, responsibilities, and legal liabilities. Attempts have been made to bring it within the jurisdiction of various laws. It is no longer a crime in India, and the Supreme Court has issued multiple guidelines on child support, property, and legal status in various circumstances. It is still a contentious issue in India. Many grey areas, such as official documents, cultural differences, property rights, will and gift rights, anti-religion status, the LGBT community, and so on, demand special attention. This research paper focuses on the legal status of live in relationships in India and tries to provide a solution to the challenges that are there.
