Live-in relationships are legal in India if both partners are adults. If your family tries to interfere, you can take legal protection under your right to life and personal liberty (Article 21). File a protection petition in the court to stay together safely. Make sure both of you give mutual consent in writing. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
