Should live in ralations be accepted ?

You are correct Jayan. If u live silent and not making that much attention from others then there wont be much problems.

I am against of this .it is going to break down our social fabric.

it all depends on ones self

The latest news is that all cases have been dropped against against Film actress Khushbu who was being prosecuted for supporting live in relations

Hmmm... don't know what to comment....

Actually coming from a very traditional family, this would be far away from my culture....
I don't accept this!!!!

To tell you one thing this system is very well prevalent in western countries and animals too.

But in India our value systems are very strong enough to prevent such kind of relationship which is very correct scientifically too for living a happy and satisfied life.

We are borrowing all these things from western countries. They have culture like that.. But our culture is based on moral values. So it is not accepted.

We may not actually support a live-in relationship, but that does not deter couples from experimenting the same! Like Gulshan pointed out in his earlier post that for women staying alone, they are looked upon with suspicion and they do not feel sure or safe due to which they start living with someone as husband and wife. also, the financial independence that more and more youngsters are getting by way of highly-paid jobs away from their towns and families, as a matter of convenience they start living together.

I have seen many couples in our industry who have a live-in relationship. Majority of these girls came from a restrictive and orthodox families. Being able to live in an open environment was like breathing fresh air and they more quickly entered such relationships.

When a man and woman live together, we do not verify whether they have performed formal wedding ceremony. As long as they seriously and sincerely live together, there will be no problem. But there is no harm if they go through some simple ceremony. It is advisable that all men and women who intend to have relation of man and wife should go through some simple wedding ceremony for satisfaction of social norms and also get the relation registered with authorities.

A relation of this kind needs to be solemnized,formalised and legalised to meet the practical ends.

Good Night to all my friends!

Such type of relationships are not entirely new to India!! We do have age-old traditions of Devdasis and nagarvadhus!! Also, until recently, it was considered quite honorable and manly to have a second concubine along with a lawfully wedded wife! Then why such a hue and cry over a live-in relationship?? At least in this, the man and woman are faithful to each other even if they are not married!!

@Kalyani

As long as the partners remain faithful to each other we don't have any problems but the arrangement on its face looks very loose and fragile unless it's structured on a legal form.

Kalyani- There is no problem with live in relations in metropolitan and big cities as nobody bothers even about the next door neighbor. The problem is more in villages. However, it is better to go through a simple wedding ceremony and marriage registration. Recently, I saw a court decision according to which children out of live in relation may inherit their parents property but have no title to grandparents'.

I agree with Gulshan,the legal implications have been highlighted very well by him.

@Gulshan, Chinmoy, I totally agree with what you both say! But where the question of being faithful to one other is raised, the relationship being legalised formally does not ensure total faith to each other! With couples spending increasingly more time apart from each other, there is in fact a rising trend of affairs outside marriage!

where the children's wellbeing and other issues are considered, I too agree that live-in relationship is not very beneficial!

Agreed! No law can ever take care of that.

It all depends on one's thinking and commenting and controlling such relationships is of no use.

I was pained to see that the spelling of 'relation' is wrong and nobody even pointed it out. There were also some other errors. I request members to point out any glaring mistake in spelling or grammar whenever they find. Today I edited and corrected the post.

Now you can edit it Gulshan.I think you put it like that even after seeing it to be visible to all.

Marriage is a bonding by society and law which shows the duties and responsibilities related to a couple . But live in relationships should not be accepted as this only give growth to cheating and violation of social code of living. B) B) B) B)
