PRESENT STATUS OF LIVE-IN RELATIONSHIP IN INDIA: A SOCIO-LEGAL PROTECTION FOR AGGRIEVED

In today's Era live-in relationships are recognized throughout the world. In western countries it is acceptable by the society now but in India, we can say it as a topic of societal censure. The couple who is in a live-in relationship don't get that respect which is given to a married couple and if both partners are being separated or one of them walked out of the relationship then there is no legal remedy to the other party. We don't have a legal system for it. There is no law that binds the parties to their relationship and duties towards their partner or children. Thus, no protection is given to any of them. This is really sad to hear that where we have such a strong Justice administration but on the other side, we failed to provide justice to a party who is suffering from mental, physical pain. Thus, we need to have a proper legal provision for the protection of both partners in a live-in relationship.
