Should live in ralations be accepted ?

No Deepti. Law does not say anything about whose customs to be followed. The customs are of communities. Most communities are patriarchal. The head of family is male. But many communities especially in North East are matriarchal. In such communities, female is head of family and she inherits property. Marriage and property relations are governed by community personal law. So, we have Hindu law, Mohammedan law and Christian law for governing such relations.
The live in relations are not accepted in any community. These relations are not lawful but also not illegal. so, there can be no punishment or any disadvantage for live in relations and extra marital/ pre-marital relations.

It is not a cultural invasion. It is a deep-rooted social stigma that is present right there in Indian societies irrespective to relations and lineages.

People are trying to legalise this social shame and make the society a hell.

So it purely depends upon the relation and understanding of the partners. Nothing to do with society.... What ever we feel comfortable should be followed

Humans are bound to follow social protocols... if you live your life based on mutual agreements and understandings then there will not be any difference left between humans and stray animals.

The things depends how the society handles it. In western culture these things happens and they don't have any social problems. But here if some one talks every body starts murmuring about the thing and makes it an issue.

Mostly people follow social customs. The people living away from their home town are often cut off from their main stream social life and indulge in loose relations like premarital sex and live in. These are socially bad but the law does not interfere in such cases. The law comes in picture when there is a cognizable offence or in case of non cognizable offense, the aggrieved party complains. Moreover, in such relations, there is no aggrieved party as such.

Human civilisation and its various societies are more than 2500 years old. humans have discovered solutions to each and every possible mischiefs that people are expected to commit.

As a deterrent to the illegal relationships and even child abuses right inside families, forgetting blood relations humans have discovered the 'Red light area' where they could quench their evil desires.

In spite of all that people want all that they desire, legalised so that they need not follow any rules and social protocols.

At the end it all depends on ones self control.

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!
