ABSTRACT

An unmarried couple living together in a long-term relationship that resembles marriage is known as a live-in relationship. It’s referred to as cohabitation in everyday speech. The law grants married people a number of rights and privileges in an effort to uphold and promote marriage. These rights and privileges are not conferred through cohabitation. In a live-in relationship, two people voluntarily decide to live together in order to maintain a long-term connection that mimics marriage. In this essay, the legal and sociological perspectives on cohabitation in India are analysed, with a focus on the status of women in such relationships.
