Journal Title: Indian Journal of Law and Human Behavior - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
The concept of marriage and live-in relationship are two distinct ideas evolved out of human relations. The marriage promises factor of permanency in the relationship between man and woman whereas there is no guaranty of such permanency in live-in relationship. However, the trend of society is changing orienting towards the livein relationship as an alternate and convenient mode of relationship for same or similar type of enjoyment as marriage. So, the society and the judiciary are lenient towards the development of live-inelationship. The need of the hour is to have a suitable legislation to regulate such relations to safeguard the interest of the couple living in such relations and also the children born out of such relations. The day is not far away as considering changing social requirements the Parliament can take up the issue and may enact such law. The development of the concept of live-in relationship in the Society is a challenge to institution of marriage and Society shall find a solution to this emerging problem. The society will change in accordance with the time and no Society will remain stand still.
