Indian society has observed a drastic change in its living pattern in the past few years. People are slowly and gradually opening their minds towards the idea of pre-marital sex and live-in relationships. However, this change has been continuously under criticism and highly discussed as such concepts lack legality and acceptance by society. Unlike marriage, in live-in relationships, couples are not married to each other but live together under the same roof that resembles a relation like marriage. In other words, we can say it is a cohabitation. In India, only those relations between a man and a woman is considered to be legitimate where marriage has taken place between the two based on existing marriage laws otherwise all other sort of relationships are deemed to be illegitimate.<\/p>\n<p>The reason behind people choosing to have a live-in relationship is to check the compatibility between couples before getting legally married. It also exempts partners from the chaos of family drama and lengthy court procedures in case the couple decides to break-up. Whatever the reason, it is very evident that in a conventional society like ours, where the institution of marriage is considered to be \u201csacred\u201d an increasing number of couples choose to have a live-in relationship, even as a perpetual plan, over marriage. In such circumstances, many legal and social issues have arisen which have become the topic of debate. With time many incidents have been reported and seen where partners in live-in relationships or a child born out of such relationship have remained vulnerable for the very simple reason that such relationships have been kept outside the realm of law. There has been gross misuse by the partners in live-in relationships since they do not have any duties and responsibilities to perform. This article seeks to analyse the judicial response to the concept of live-in relationships so far. It also talks about the rights available to live-in partners in India and also, what is the status of children born out of such relationships.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2019\/02\/27\/bom-hc-order-of-maintenance-under-dv-act-set-aside-in-absence-of-any-act-of-domestic-violence-committed-by-husband\/\">Bom HC | Order of Maintenance under DV Act set aside in absence of any act of Domestic Violence committed by Husband<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.scconline.com\/post\/2019\/01\/10\/maintenance-children-and-parents\/\">Maintenance \u2013 Children and Parents<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In India, beneficial provisions for maintenance of children and parents are provided under various Acts.
