00:00Live-in is an unofficial marriage.
00:02Live-in is marriage not sanctioned by society.
00:04Otherwise, what really is the difference, tell me?
00:07And we said many of the live-in couples
00:09would marry if marriage were to be made possible to them.
00:14Married couples fight, and there have been so many reports
00:17of live-in partners not merely fighting,
00:20but actually assaulting each other
00:22and even killing each other.
00:24If my memory serves me right,
00:26the courts have ruled that if two people
00:29have been living with each other since long in a live-in way,
00:33they are to be treated as de facto married couples.
00:36And having lived in with a woman,
00:39if you drop her after, let's say, three or four years,
00:41you are even liable to pay alimony and such stuff.
00:45I might not be expressing the legal nuances very accurately,
00:50but that's the gist of what even the courts have ruled.
00:53So there is not much difference between live-in and marriage.
