Dear Surya,
I do not know where from you ? Because recently Maharashtra State Govt passed a bill preferalbly L/Y i.e. Live-in-relationship. You may please be obtained the copy of same and go througn the procedures and provisions. After completion of all formalities you are bound to that person and obliged to look after fully. Even though you are not husband and wife but this law will provide a bonded relation legally recognised.

Dear Mr. Patil. Can you tell us where can we find the bill passed by Maharashtra Govt. To my knowledge no such bill is passed yet. Please update my knowledge.

Thanks Patil,
I forgot to mention where I am from. I am in Chennai and want to register it in Chennai.
I will be shifting to Bangalore and so if I can't register in Chennai, please tell me whether it can be easily done in Bangalore.
Hope you understand the reason why I want to register the cohabitation agreement. Let me tell you that also. I am married and not divorced.

Dear Surya, You have stated that you are married and not divorced. Then as per law your marriage is still in subsistence. In this circumstances how can you enter into co-habitation agreement ???!!!!. Is not adultery then. Expecting views of Learned of Members.

Such agreement is not valid legally so you cannot register the same.

i do agree with mr. piravi perumal.
it attracts the offence of bigamy under sec 494 of IPC and adultery under sec 497 of IPC.
