IOW, India will soon have 3 options in "status" columns :P! "Single", "Married" and "Partnered" :)! So, I would say that live-in is very much legal in India and is on the rise :)! @ All: Guys, the Supreme court has officially made a ruling that “serious” live-in relationships (something to do with a period) is officially considered equivalent to marriage.

Not sure what motivated them to act. The same article also claims “the proportion of people whose community still practices child marriage is 77.2 percent in Madhya Pradesh, followed by Rajasthan (41 percent) and Uttar Pradesh (10 percent)” - which is either a typo or just incorrect.

That's one way to deal with the pedophilia problem isn't it?" :) @Narendra Yeah...that was Meerut. Some of the couples 'caught' were actually married even. Moral police my a**. @Baphomet You know...I'm not sure if it's illegal or not...but a couple can't rent an apartment in Hyderabad and Bangalore if they're not married.

The less important an issue is, the more people, especially politicians, will talk about it. The entire administrative system is preoccupied with the great burden of what boys and girls do in their spare time. Remember those cases of policemen arresting couples for sitting in parks and cuddling? This is the law of inverse relevance.

Although I do think that age of consent etc. are very important things to keep modern and therefore change it once in a while [although changing them doesn't necessarily make them better], there definitely are other things worthy of attention in every legal system...
