It's true, live together relations are not approved in our society and it's a part of foreign culture. Indian culture believes in marriages and its life long existence. Also, the feeling of security it gives. Yet, new generation is more trending towards this status of living.
I have to agree ...such couples love each other sincerely. Yet, they are not ready to involve in the serious responsibilities of family life. They just want to understand each other better and find if, he/she is his best life partner or not. Also, they have some hidden intentions of break up if things won't work according to their expectations, which is not at all possible in a married life as divorce itself is a complicated procedure. If not, why are they fearing marriages????????

I know personally one uncle who married just because he didnt want his pregnent daughter-in-law to be alone...
It was really a very difficult task as he loved his wife who died of cancer.
Now they are living happily. But i didnt see any elderly in live-in relationship...only youngsters.
Now the thing is, people living as bachelors are also doubted upon to be gays. so we cannot say anything about people living together,whether same sex or opposite sex...
poor society!!!!!!!!!!!

Sandhya, we cannot call it the wrong way just because we think it is wrong. Think from their point of view, it is how they see the world. Also, we have already seen that the more you condemn a practice, the more attractive it becomes. The more a thing is prohibited, the more its want increases.
Right and wrong lie in the eyes of the viewer.
From their point of view, it may be right.
Even for the most wrong things in this world, we can find reasons. i.e.justifications. It doesn't mean it's right. :evil: :evil:
Am asking just one question.....if they have chosen each other as life partners, why are they hesitating to make it for ever by tying the knot??? Why so? What's the reason behind it??? :huh: :huh:
It may seem wrong to us, but serials like Satyamev jayte has highlighted the issue of live in relationship for the old.
This can be categorised as good cause since the old and the widowed need companionship till they die.
But who cares???????????
I totally agree, the old should be allowed to have a companion, at their age, whether to marry or to live together just does not make any difference. It is a matter of companionship, all other issues are less significant. But the children usually do not allow such for fear of losing inheritance3 and losing face in society!

Similarly, I am asking you why the formality of a few rituals??? Even now, those who tie the knot traditionally don't care about the rituals and their meaning, they do it just for the sake of doing it!! So why such pretense?

I too pity the society for lack of understanding and zero tolerance when it comes to relationships. Actually, ours is the culture that gave Kamasutra to the world and we still consider these issues a taboo!!

can't find a suitable answer till now :( :(
I agree with @gulshan as the kids may suffer in future if the parents relationship is not legalized.. however Indian society still doesn't accept such relationship..
In some religions such type of relationship is considered as offense and severe punishments are given that may include death...

Exactly!! See, we don't even know why we are opposed to such relationships! All we have is that a few rituals make the relationship between a man and a woman a legal and sacred marriage, and they are expected to be faithful to each other. But does a marriage guarantee this premise??? Also, a couple living together without formal marriage is considered as promiscuous even though they are completely faithful with each other, so why the double standards?
I approve living together relation. When this relation continues for more than three years or a child is born out of this relation, the couple should be legally considered as married with all consequential affects.
True, this should definitely be considered by the couple,!
Most of the couple who go in for a live in relationship do it after having thought about it,since they too have their families , relatives and friends ...
As far as I am concerned it is their own business and they have to take responsibility for what they do with their lives and others have no say in the matter except probably pass judgment behind their back ! And Indians have always had polygamy where men had several wives as well as keeps and it was done openly so why the sudden holier than thou attitude now when things are fair and equal ! ..In fact even Supreme court has said that live in relationships have a legal status !

Actually, many people can misuse this option. There lies the real problem. It can also lead to problems like AIDS, if it forms just a hobby to a group of people.
A group of people are there, who don't believe in marriages. They think, just saath-phera is not enough to say a relationship is strong, it's the union of mind...actually, no need of marriages. But if they can assure, they will keep all promises of a married couple, then it's Ok. But I think, people who think so is only rare and majority of people do believe in marriages even if they are following this modern strategy. Am I not right????

Exactly! That's what I was talking about, when we could easily accept these things from our forefathers and so many other men in our communities, why suddenly try to play so coy about these relationships!

Sandhya, occurrence of AIDS cannot be blamed entirely on live-in relationships. Do you know that the major cause of AIDS is because of men visiting red light areas and then they pass it on to their legally married wives??? Did you know this fact?
Also, people do not live together as a hobby. they do it out of love for each other.

There is no question of misusing since they enter such a relationship with their eyes open and also after a lot of consideration ....and as far as Aids is concerned it is , you may be surprised that according to statistics , the vast majority is found among the older men in the age group of 45 - 55 who are carrying the aids syndrome and almost all of them are married !
Rare or majority , live in relationships are now a part of the Indian society like it was always there , and now even the supreme court has given it a legal status...
oh yes,kalyani
Things like live-in relationship seems so easy as the couple can live together for sometime and break off when they dont feel like "it" but no one knows the consequence like leading to AIDS
It is like a child eating artificial sweetner everyday and then have a breakdown of some internal organ...
wah wah kya society hai...everyone is blind and leading others to blindness too..

Yes, that's true! Looking at these statistics, it seems that the older married men are more rash in their behavior where AIDS is concerned. And these couples are a part of our society, now that the court has given them legal status, who are we to condemn them?
