Are 'Live In Relationships' legal in India?

Yes, Supreme Court recently declared the law legalising the Live-in relationship. It was never illegal though.

Children born out of this live-in relationships will be considered as legal and they will be heir to inherit property from their parents.

Regarding the society and all, in my opinion law is greater than it and society has small say in these legal matters. But still this relationship has to prove the following some of these guidelines given by Supreme Court in the case of D.Velusamy vs D.Patchaiammal on October 21, 2010 :

a) The couple must hold themselves out to society as being akin to spouses.

(b) They must be of legal age to marry.

(d) They must have voluntarily cohabited and held themselves out to the world as being akin to spouses for a significant period of time.

If they fullfil the above requirements, girl even can claim the maintenance under the Protection of Woman from Domestic violence Act, 2005.

What is the difference between 'sin' and 'offence' ?

Sin is an immoral, bad, unethical and unlawful thing in the eyes of society. Offence is an unlawful and illegal act or omission which is punishable by the law. Adultery, prostitution, sex before marriage, eating animals these some of things are considered as sin in the Indian society. But sin is not punishable by the law. The man who commits sin is responsible to the god. Murder, rape, bigamy, theft, violation of traffic rules these are the some offences. These offences are punishable by law with capital punishment, imprisonment or by fine. Sin is not a crime. The role of police and judge starts when sin becomes an offence. When it's a sin, it can not be questioned. Police and judge can not take cognizance of sin. A person responsible for sin is answerable before the Supreme Lord of the universe on the day of judgement.
