Abstract
The concept of a live-in relationship was a practice that maintained a strategic distance from Indian culture for quite a while. Living together before tying the knot is an offense to the Indian culture earlier. In particular, the Hindu Dharma leans towards ‘One man, one wife’ as the most sacred type of marriage. India a nation of cultural values and customs, ceremonies can’t stand to dive into western culture. However, since developing economy and individuals getting increasingly mindful, India at last needs to step ahead and stroll with the rest of the world by authorizing Live-in relationship. The state cabinet gave its green sign to amend section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code which tries to secure the financial interests of different women. In any case, it would require the center’s stamp of approval to turn into a law. The meaning of the word wife would need to be change which is under section 125. The change done would resemble a woman who trusts in Live-in relationship or needs to have a polygamous relationship is legitimate. The state has proposed a sensibly significant period of time for that woman to remain with the mate, however has not characterized the span of that period especially. In a nation like India this is one of the odd steps taken, yet at the same time its better one.
The legitimate meaning of live in relationship is “a plan of living under which the couples which are unmarried live together to conduct a long-going relationship correspondingly as in marriage.” A live-in relationship is one such association in which a boy and young girl have some connection before their marriage and if they are happy and contented with their partner they get hitched or are like that for quite a long time. This sort of act however appears to be changed; it is one, which is being actualized today. Live-in relationship handles the matter of pre-marital sex, yet those couples who are keeping up relations wouldn’t fret such things. By and large, this connection develops harmony between the couples, however ruins their social impact. Live in relation; for example, cohabitation is an arrangement whereby two individuals choose to live together on a long haul or permanent basis in an emotionally and/or sexually intimate relationship. The term is most frequently applied to couples who are not hitched.
