About The Book

This book presents a comprehensive socio-legal analysis of live-in relationships in India, examining their evolution, historical presence, and distinction from traditional marriage. Structured across eight chapters, it explores societal transformations, landmark judicial pronouncements, and the roles of society, legislature, and judiciary in shaping legal recognition. Through a comparative study of New York (USA), Greece, Bangladesh, and the UAE, the book situates India's approach within global legal frameworks. It critically analyzes existing statutory protections, constitutional morality, and religious perspectives, while offering an in-depth evaluation of the Uniform Civil Code of Uttarakhand, particularly its implications for privacy and individual autonomy. Grounded in rigorous research, the book offers balanced insights, policy-oriented critiques, and future reform directions for scholars, lawmakers, and readers interested in evolving family structures and personal liberties.
