Abstract
Live-in relationships have become increasingly prevalent in Indian society, challenging traditional notions of marriage and cohabitation. However, the legal landscape governing such relationships remains ambiguous, with various statutes and legal frameworks offering different perspectives. This research article explores the dynamics of live-in relationships in India through the lenses of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), the Indian Penal Code (IPC), and The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005. By examining case law, legislative provisions, and societal attitudes, this study aims to elucidate the legal and social complexities surrounding live-in relationships and their implications for individuals involved.
