Peeping into the history of legislation or more aptly laws one can easily understand this development in its true light and perspective. Most or many of laws which came to be adopted and accepted in their modern form preexisted as such in the form of customs and social practices. A good number of them bearing the genius of our forefathers formed parts of our modern laws with suitable changes and amendments as societies advanced mainly because these were rational and logical. Law, being a very dynamic domain , hates any form static resistances, undergoing transformation keeping in mind the needs of society. Now coming to Supreme Court's decision in this regard, I must say that acceptance of any custom is decided by the majority of society and once again I am stressing the word 'Acceptance' and 'Acceptability' to be very important. Legalizing 'live-in' would not ensure its acceptance or enhance its acceptability in Indian societies. It can ,at best, hope to have a 'niche' existence - nothing more or less!!

We Indians are the worst hypocrites ever ! I know of families where the man is openly having a mistress and accepted by others but give it a modern name 'living together' it becomes westernised and not acceptable...Has anyone denounced Hema malini,Jaya Prada or for that matter so many other celebrities who are all in live in relationships since whatever marriage they may have had is not legal...

Sri devi also, she married to Bony Kapoor despite his first marriage, as you have mentioned man can stay in society but the lady who is living with man can have torrid times, I do not know why this is happening, man and woman should have same respect or same denouncement. Are we living in a patriarchal society?

Sridevi married Bony kapoor. It was never a live in relationship.

Boney Kapoor has first wife, and his son from first wife is aready in film industry, the protagonist of "Ishaqjade", he never divorced his first wife and this means, with Sridevi the marriage is not approved, so it is live in relationships.

Live in relationship means a man and woman living under the SAME ROOF AS HUSBAND AND WIFE WITHOUT GETTING MARRIED Sri devi married Bony kapoor. They never lived together before marriage.

They cannot marry, as acc. to Hindu marriage act when a man marries second time he will be arrested and the lady will not get his surname, Boney Kapoor never divorced his first wife, so it is live in relationships as both Sri and Boney are living together under same roof and they have two girl child's. It is the similar case as that of Hema Malini.

Ok. You say according to Hindu law a man cannot marry another woman without divorcing the first wife. Thats an offence. But live in relationship is not applicable to only married people and living together. An unmarried man and woman also can live under the same roof as man and wife. And that's not an offence. That's what the Apex court says.
Bony Kapoor and Sridevi before marriage they did not live together. Its not the same as Boney kapoor marrying Srdevi without divorcing his first wife.

They are living together before marriage, and after the so called announcement, they are living together, if they announce as married couple the court will arrest Boney. Live in relationships is staying together as husband and wife but not married, it is this case.

The whole world knows they are married. Why Bony kapoor was not arrested ?

because his legal wife not complaining, no one have any business to interfere other matters, his legal wife is ok with it.

I guess she had no choice in the amatter since this is still very much a man's world and a woman falls in with his wishes...
