1. For a Lawful Marriage, the legal age is 18 for a Female and 21 for a Male.
2. HOWEVER, the above is not applicable for "live-in-relationships". Hence it is legal enough, for the purposes.

Absolutely legal for live in relationship not legal for marriage as the man is still not 21 years old.

Live in relationship is permitted through fundamental right to reside anywhere. No age limit. However if sexual relationship, law about consent etc to be seen. Majority age is 18 years, to decide as per own wish. Hence both are of majority age, no one can legally separate them.

No law existed in India to decide age of a couple for live-in relation.
