Since both of you are adults, you are legally allowed to live together in a consensual live-in relationship in India. No law prohibits it if both partners agree. If you face pressure, threat, or interference from family or others, you can seek police protection and approach the court for your right to life and personal liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution.
