Abstract

Many foreign cultural ideas have been absorbed into the traditional culture of India as


Modernization progressed. One of these exotic cultures is the practice of live-in relationships. For many years, people have been living together. The main difference is that people were hesitant to announce their relationship status owing to social pressures back then, but today's Indian society openly acknowledges this type of partnership. This arrangement has become an option for marriage, especially in India's metropolitan cities, where individuals prioritize independence and people strive to avoid the duties and commitments of married life. However, this new type of family is precarious. There are no explicit laws in India that address such relationships. The laws that regulate such relationships take the shape of judicial decisions. Pertinent to note, the live-in relationship is natural as well as predominant in the Western World. As a result, it is vital to recognize the rights and duties of partners who are living together without marriage everywhere around the world to have a better understanding of where India stands as it is an emerging concept for India. Through this paper, the author attempts to study the current legal status of Live-in-relationship in India. Further, this paper also compares the legal status of the Live-in Relationships in India to that of Finland.
