Live-in relationships are against Indian culture
Live-in relationships are against Indian culture
Live – in relationship, a common trend in the western culture and is now a budding trend in India as well. But the question arises that does our Indian culture and its roots have accepted this culture.
For:
- Live in relationships have been legalised in India and is gradually being accepted specially amongst the young generation
- The courts have been cautious about their elucidations about live – in relationships, wherein they stress on the need of a long-lasting relationship and share similar responsibilities as that a husband and wife share in marriage
- As per the law, ‘living together is not a crime, but it is right to life’
Against:
- Live-in relationship for men and women who are already married is and should be considered illegal
- Lot of live in relations are not registered and if there is any kind of abuse conducted on the women, then they do not have the courage to fight against it and ultimately succumb to it
- It is yet not being accepted in our culture and this lead to a lot of notoriety in the culture
- If somehow the live – in relation does not work, it gets all the more difficult to find a groom or bride and especially in case of women because of the rejection
- Even in today’s time, men prefer women who are virgin and hence it’s difficult for the girl
Conclusion:
- Every culture is different and it’s not necessary that we should adopt all cultures from the west. Every country has its boundaries and respect for women which should not be crossed.
- Marriage is considered to be a sacred relation and with live-in relation we are mocking the whole meaning of the term marriage.

- From my point of view live-in relationship is a good thing since it includes mutual understanding between the #mature couple. Talking about the culture of any country, it is us who decide the culture and make amendments in that so the further generations follow this culture and it gets changed in decades according the requirements of people. In this present era we require this change and sooner, within decades it will become the culture. Although live in relationships are good because it generates trust, love and it helps the couple to know each other.
But the perception of Indian people is rather dufferent , they like live in relationship, butmost of the men who are narrow minded do not deserve it because they want virgi n wife. India needs a change but it should begin with thinking and then no culture can prove that it is wrong. - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -kiran Amale (07/05/16)
- what is live-in relationship????
exactly - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -Nandita Sen (02/17/16)
- Yes, I do think live-in relationships are against Indian culture. If a person really wants to find out if he/she wants to marry his/her partner and live forever, the best way to do it is by keeping a normal healthy relationship (which includes going on dates, hanging out, chatting on social-networking site etc). But, I feel one should not cross the line drawn by the society in terms of marriage and sex. Marriage is a sacred bonding between a couple who have taken the marriage vows to be with each other no matter whatever happens and seek the blessings of elders. What is live-in relationship compared to that?? If a guy is not happy with her girl, he will easily drift apart leaving her alone, and similarly even a girl can do that in case she decides on a break up. In either case it would get very difficult for both to negotiate a perfect bride/groom for themselves. And it becomes specially difficult for the girl, and in case she gets pregnant she has to go through a lot of humiliation and troubles. Unmarried guys would never accept a girl along with her baby in most cases. The only option she would have left with is an abortion, which is legally and morally a crime. Indians try to pretend like Western people but 90% of the men are obsessed with "virginity", they fail to think beyond that. They will easily tag a non-virgin girl as bad, because she has crossed her limit to go and live-in with a guy who wasn't her husband. Marriage is socially and morally binding on couples so they think twice before filing divorce, but live-in relationships may or may not work and a girl can not just go around having sex with men to check out if he is the perfect husband for her. I mean, c'mon it is insane.
I do agree that every culture has it's own values, but the societies in India are more conservative and the people can not accept new changes easily because they are bound by religion and society.
However, I feel that live-in relationships could be encouraged among senior citizens or divorcees/widows because they have already gone through a marriage which for some reason might have remained unsuccessful. But life is a long journey and most people can't live alone without a partner to share feelings both at a emotional as well as physical level. But, still in all cases marriage remains an indispensable requirement to stay together. - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -gopal agrawal (08/21/15)
- indian culture has always adopted things that uplifted the people life, if we feel democratic and independent in present era then live in relationship is always accepted. if indian culture can accept GOD MESSENGER AASHARAMbapu self styled god men who is alleged and perterbute of rape cases then this can also be accepted

- i dont think that there is anything wrong in a live in relationship..i dont know why but according to me atleast 90% of people think premarital relationship is a sin! or a fashionable debauchery.. why people still having shit in there minds?
i mean living together before marriage is a sin? who thinks like that..
i dont noe but why all the time society interfare in these matter ..if a couple has decided to live with each other before marriage wants understand each other's daily routine so whats wrong in that ..living in a live-in relationship does not mean having physical relationship only..its about something else also may the wanted to noe whether they can carry there relationship after marriage or not? or whether they are that much capable of that they can spent their whole life together?if not then ..having seperated from a live-in relationship ,,is far much than having divorce.. - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -anish avishkar (08/19/15)
- one think will definitely happens due to these live in relationships ...which is not frequent in now days that ...todays parents never accept these relationships (as i think) so what happen .... but children wants to live in relationship so they left there parents more frequently at that time at which they have there need most ...it is not necessary that to we should accept all the western culture ... one think more ...there is great risk for both girl as well as boys ...bcoz ..if any girl wants to be in L.I.R. then she should aware of all the risk that may happens in future ...boy may leave her ...she should ready to take care of it...after that she should go for LIR ...otherwise no one accept that girl after having child ..if that guy reject to live together ...
For present time our laws are not that powerfull to take care of it ..victim never get transparency in this situation ... main thing is that ..GIRL SHOULD READY TO ACCEPT RISK what so ever happens with her in future ... - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -sidharth hota (08/19/15)
- we are talking about live-in relation ship while most of our people dont even know what it is actually so first of all we need to clear the false mind set of the people. and there is some advantage or disadvantge of this but we need to see how we making our life better.
- RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -Aadrika (08/19/15)
- I think there is one more aspect of live in realitionship. If we take eg of seniour single citizen or a widow ,they don't want to marry because of many reasons due to their childrens or property issuse or something else but they need a companion with whom they can share their emotion,there inner most felling so in that case i don't feel it's a bad thing.

- from my point of view, today the young generation wants to have live in relationship and also wish to have a virgin girl after marriage. they are trying to adopt western culture but deny the proposal if a girl is not virgin.
moreover in india live-in-relationship is legally accepted still the society will not accept and see you with doubtful eyes. - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -jyoti singh (10/29/14)
- I think live-in relationships are against indian culture as even now indian mens prefer to marry a virgin girl so it becomes difficult for a girl who has been facing the failure of her live-in relationship. people in india likes dressing western but they are not ready to think like westerns...

- Unfortunately,we are not in 20th or 19th century. No doubt all cultures of the world are slowly decaying. Live in relationship is nothing but fashionable debauchery..Western world had an excellent family values ( eg Italy and Israel).With higher education among females
family values are going down. It seems, now muslim society some family values. - RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -Rishika Jalan (04/22/14)
- Live in relationship is a kind of relationship in which a man and a woman mutually decide to live together under one roof without getting married to each other. This is a popular and common system of the western countries and is now slowly being adopted by the Indians as well. Live in relationships are legalized in India now and is much in demand by the younger generations. Though the practice of staying together before marriage is not accepted by the Indian culture, but due to the various benefits of it, gradually it has to be accepted within the society. By staying in a live in relationship, the couple gets the opportunity to know each other in and out. They are aware of each other’s daily habits, routines and mood swings and can take a wise decision whether they want to marry each other or not. At the time of any argument or fight it does not lead to any divorce and this also reduces the chances of family break ups. Thus, by living in together two people can share the costs between them as well as stay independently without the tag of being married.
- RE: Live-in relationships are against Indian culture -Rajani Sharma (01/15/14)
- For:
• Live in relationships are against Indian culture as such relationships can never be equated with a relationship as eternal as marriage.
• According to Indian marriage act it is illegal for a man and woman to live in relationship without getting married.
• Such relationships are only for financial and social security. In order to get accommodation, such couples are declaring themselves married couple.
• Legal framework needs to be redesigned as right now in India it is not well defined in the case of live in relationship.
Against:
• Live in relationships are not against Indian culture as it is just become a way for people to save money. People don’t have to wander here and there to search for a house. Apart from these there are many other reasons for people living in together.
• Live in relationships are now in fashion among younger generations.
• In live in relationships the individual can part ways at any point of time without getting into hassles of a divorce.
• This kind of relationship gives an option to the individual to know each other before committing for marriage. It helps them to test their compatibility with their partners.
