1. Domestic Violence Act recognises the relationship.
2.Though there is no express provision of law in this regard, the Supreme Court has held that long cohabitation as husband and wife gives rise to a presumption of marriage so as to protect the legitimacy of the children born to them or to grant maintenance under S. 125 of Cr.P.C or remedies under The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 or “palimony” .
3. Such a presumption cannot be made whaere there is already a valid marriage force, as that would amount to recognition of bigamy.
4.Chanmuniya v. Virendra Kumar Singh Khushwaha, (Arising out of SLP (Civil) No.15071 of 2009) (October 07, 2010): The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 gives a very wide interpretation to the term ‘domestic relationship’ as to take it outside the confines of a marital relationship, and even includes Live-in relationships in the nature of marriage within the definition of ‘domestic relationship’. Therefore, women in live-in relationship are also entitled to all the reliefs given in the said Act, they should also be allowed in proceedings under section 125 of Cr.P.C.
4 Thje Apex Court said that "one night stands" cannot be recognized.
