i don't think live-in relation is a decoy of sex access...what is a marriage? just a ritual to stay together. we call it base of our society...can we say western culture has no base in their society...if we say so then we are living in ignorant's world...western society has their own problems...relation doesnot last long there in half of the cases...but why so? one point all parties are too free to compromise to stay together to listen to other half's wishes...but then the problem is in wrong education they got...not the concept of live-in relations...i see people stay 10-20 years without marriages...its just not needed...because to stay together you need to have trust and love for each other..if that is not there a marriage can also break in indian society...most important is to advance economically we need to get rid of certain social barriers like casteism...marriage should be left on the decisions of the individual parties..now boys and gals of indian society like to remain controlled by their parents till old ages...problem is there...they are not mentally free to make big steps...if we can be free of our mind then certain rituals cannot bind us anymore to be a first world country...though it doesnot mean that marriages need not to be there, it is an wonderful thing...but again it should e decisions of individuals not be dictated by others..
