We have a different culture that all of us have know. Live in relationships leads pre-marital sexual relationships and it cause many severe problems. Keepin live relationhsips after marriage is a custom of our country. See love marriage also leads to divorce in many cases. Love after marriage is a good practice.

Rubbish argument! Please cut the culture crap. I'm a proud Indian and I've seen enough places and people to form my opinion. Just marriage doesn't solve all the domestic problems. Marriage should not be a contract so that 2 people are forced to live under one roof, even if they cannot accommodate the other. A lot of marriages in India are like this. And because of this, people just drag on and in most cases, the most suffered lot is their children. I don't mind a live-in relationship, if both parties are happy with it. And one more thing is that in most problematic marriages, women are the losers. And our so called Great culture doesn't support them. I agree that we have a lot of written things for the protection of women and almost nil in practice. So, if a women becomes bold enough to choose a partner to live with, society doesn't accept it. And some people just blame western society! I've stayed 2-3 years outside India, especially in Europe and people who blame the west, have never seen west! If you see the respect for elders and women and the safety a woman experiences here, it's atleast 90% more then what our great culture offers! Saying that "It is not our culture" is foolishness!!!

Well our parents were married, we had the advantage society gives respect to a family. Live-in relationship is a fancy name for free sex.
So-and-so is the son or daughter of so-and-so.. similary he is the father of our friend..the list of family generated help goes on... Once we become a part of a family, the society respects as a combined individual.
Live-in may be popular just for ads. Ultimately family wins....

what culture u r talking about? here people can do anything read sex before marriage without living in. so if two people have decided that they way to stay together without marrying then whats wrong with it.anyways marriage is more of understanding than anything else. so in many cases(arranged mostly) where spouses step out of their relation to find satisfaction/love outside. so why not two people stay together and be happy However i do not support live in relations after marriage If it has to be it then both partners should ideally be unmarried. If you have got married then either stick to your marriage or step out the legal way. so for divoece not to happen you should ensure that you know spouse very well And live in relation is one way of doing so It is although a new trend in India and our parents might not accept this fact but the FACT is that it is here to stay and the sooner people realise it the better it is for them. Get out of the shell guys The world is beautiful so lets enjoy each and every moment of it......
