evidence: However,with changing social norms of legitimacy,the Indian judiciary has taken a lead to fill the gap that was created in absence of any specific statute relating to live-in relationships.The intention of Indian judiciary is to render justice to the partners of live-in relationships who,were earlier not protected by any statute when subjected to any abuse arising out of such relationships.In short,Judiciary is neither expressly promoting concept nor prohibiting such sort of relationships.The major concern is that there should not be any miscarriage of justice. [...] Some of the judgements on live-in relationships are briefly discussed below- - In the landmark case of S. Khushboo v. Kanniammal ,the Supreme Court held that a living relationship comes within the ambit of Right to Life under Article 21 of the Constitution of India.The Court further held that live-in relationships are permissible and the act of two major living together cannot be considered unlawful or illegal. [...] - In a landmark judgement of Dhannu Lal v. Ganeshram ,the Supreme Court decided that couples living in live-in relationships will be presumed legally married.It was also held that the woman in the relationship would be eligible to inherit the property after the death of her partner.
