Can a Live-in Relationship Give Me the Same Legal Rights as Marriage?

 Can a Live-in Relationship Give Me the Same Legal Rights as Marriage?” – Or is it just a Netflix subscription without the commitment? 🍿📜

One of our curious clients asked:
“We’re in a live-in relationship. Do we have any legal protection like married couples in India?”
Our legal reply: Yes... but only if your setup looks less like a weekend plan and more like a shared life! 🏠💑

📜 What Does Indian Law Say?
✅ Live-in relationships are not illegal
✅ Recognised under Article 21 (Right to Life & Personal Liberty)
✅ If the couple is of legal age, cohabitation is protected
✅ The Supreme Court calls it a relationship "in the nature of marriage" if it’s stable & long-term
So no, your weekend Netflix partner isn’t automatically your legal partner. 😅

👶 What About Children from Live-in Relationships?
Yes, they’re considered legitimate and can inherit property from parents.
But don’t expect in-laws to hand you the family mansion—only the biological parents’ assets apply! 🏰💰
