As the current generation is quite more open towards relationships, the concept of ‘Mitru Sambandh’ or ‘Live-in-Relationships’ seems acceptable not fully but partially. Living relationships is always one of the most controversial issues for our societies. Mostly It is perceived as taking a car for a test drive before buying. Live-in relationships mean a male and female stay together as a couple before marriage. Although being in trend and a famous part of western countries, Indians imagine it as unstable in the world of so-called modern thoughts.

A live-in relationship, as it is known legally, is “an arrangement of living, under which the couples who are not married live together to conduct a long-term relationship, similar to marriage.”

Barring the debates, the youths see live-in relationships more favorably before getting the tag of married. Compatibility comes up be the major foundation of living relationships and can say compatibility is a way of establishing love stronger. A way of knowing each other is better than being in a relationship that ends with having divorce as the last option. Living in relationships can also be one of the reasons because both partners want to be single for financial or career reasons. Apart from knowing these, It has been observed that couples are free from all types of family dramas and chaos. Both partners either end up making a strong connection or drifting away from each other as far as It can be.

“In my view, this is the most beautiful thing in society. You live together, enjoy your life and understand each other. Society should accept it. Gone are the days when people used to marry at the age of 15–20. These days people marry in their late 20s. There is no need to suppress your desire needs”, says Rachita Sharma, a businesswoman.

Kritika and Manan, a live-in-relationship couple shared their thoughts, “Similar to how we shouldn’t have “opinions” about an adult’s career, personal habits, likes, or dislikes because these are their personal life decisions, we also shouldn’t have any about the kinds of relationships they decide to enter into. Every adult is allowed to live however they like, as long as they don’t hurt or trouble other people. In addition, whether or not there are any intentions to get married, living together is a natural way to get to know someone better and spend time with them, provided that both parties mutually agree to it.”

I think It is a great idea. There is no better approach to determine who you are really with. You don’t want to find out after you get married that your spouse doesn’t know how to use an oven or can’t do laundry or can’t clean up after themselves. I say go for it. Establish your boundaries, roles, home duties, etc. first though, says Rohan Pandey, a 28 years blogger.

*All the names mentioned above are changed to maintain the real identity and security.*

According to statistics, less than 50% of Indians want to live in live-in relationships, even though 80% of them currently accept the idea. One of the biggest challenges that our Indian couples have is dealing with family.

Indian societies view it as a wrong step to demolish the social norms and behaviors while arrange marriages are pushed upon by them their children. Is it right for the sake of social acceptance? Give it a think. The variations of perception living in India are the defaulters of damaging lives for instance forced marriage by spending lakhs of the amount which ends up into divorce for a while affecting both the partners.

The court passed the arrangement of live-in relationships as legal in India. The court went ahead and recommended guidelines to decide if a relationship is in the “nature of marriage”, the bench listed 8 parameters: domestic arrangement, sexual relationship, children, the conduct of the parties about their relationship, duration of their relationship, pooling of resources, shared household and socialization in public.

Even the laws alternated when they saw the changing behavior of society, but society remains to be called unchanged. Rather than focusing on social acceptance, It is better to focus on individual views which can lift society’s betterment. With the aura of changing scenario, we, the society needs to accept the various dynamics coming positively rather than making it a trending issue for controversies. Live-in-relationship is a beautiful journey in the observation and understanding of each other and making it an undergoing test of compatibility of two individuals. It is about two different people rather than our perspectives.

Just remember, developing is not only about a better workplace It is also about the development of thoughts for the societies.
