Live-In Relationship, Problems and ChallengesAbstract [English]
It is a feature of Indian culture that the vast majority of Indians live according to their traditional ways. One thing that Indians have kept constant over the years is their cultural values. India's marriages are viewed as a custom, any departure from this will be viewed as a violation. Supporting an odd concept like live-in relationships, however, would undoubtedly cause a lot of problems since it may undermine institutions like marriage and family. For a variety of reasons, various living arrangements were ridiculed upon in India's traditional society. India is home to individuals of many different religions, and according to religious customs, cohabitation between men and women is not recognized as a partnership and is not considered a holy union like marriage. Because of this, a large number of men and women who are tied by live-in relationships are dealing with challenges and issues. Therefore, the present study tries to understand the problems and challenges that men and women face who are in a live-in relationship.
