10(1), Jul, 2023: p.55-64 Live-in-relationship in India is not illegal anymore. Plethora of Judicial verdicts and provision of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 being the sole legislation on this subject, discussed in this article confirm the same. Despite that live in relationship is still proscribed in India. In this article an effort has been made to throw light upon the causes of society’s intolerance towards the concept of live in relationship. Fast paced and ambitious life style in metropolitan cities, negligent amount of legal complexities, absence of family responsibilities, easy walk-in walk-out etc. can well be attributed towards the sudden rise in popularity of the live-in relationship. As a result live-in is turning out to be a potent threat to the institution of marriage. Time and again our society has expressed its disapproval for live in relationship on the ground of religion, morality, ethics, traditions etc, . “Popular morality” appears to be the reason behind the society’s disapproval, though “constitutional morality” speaks differently. – Reproduced http://kashmirjournaloflegalstudies.edu.in/JWS/JournalVolume.aspx?V=10 Live-in relationship Kashmir Journal of Legal Studies 240115
