What is legal age to enter into live in relationship?

Sir/Madam, I am 19 years old, and my girlfriend is 25. Can we enter into a live-in relationship with protection, considering her family is pressuring her to marry someone else? She is ready to leave her house and stay with me. Please advise if a certificate is needed.

Sir, in India, both of you are legally allowed to enter a live-in relationship since you are over 18. However, if your girlfriend faces family pressure, she has legal protection under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act. It’s advisable to make a cohabitation agreement with the help of an expert lawyer who will assist you in ensuring your rights. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
