Live in relationship

if wife is able to prove that HE is living in a relationship, then he can be penalised under Secion 497 of Indian Penal Code

but moreover it is hard to prove the live in relationship and if you marry then only it will be a big problem

keep it undercover and you may go ahead. no harm will be done except character assaisnation , take legal advise from ur lawyer.

mr ganeshan if a  married man has livin with an unmarried lady how can sec 497 apply please elaborate ?

live in relationship is maintainable for unmarriade person. You you live in relation another woman without getting divorce from wife. Its a offence 497 IPC.

Don't think this. It may be harmful for you.

MR PRAJAPATI U NEED TO STUDY LAW

I agree with Avinash!

If a married amn lives-in with

1) Unmarried woman

2) Divorced woman

3) Widow

WITH HER CONSENT, & No formal marriage is performed, he is safe unless new flame of his life complains! So, better take precautions b4hand & proceed

As per IPC 497 the woman he wants to indulge in live in relationship A. should not be wife of another man B. if she happens to be wife of another man he should have consent of that man.  If she is unmarried woman, then no problem. Wife of a man cannot initiate proceedings under Section 497 of IPC, but only the husband of a married woman who is indulging in s*xual relationship with another man can initiate proceedings.

Gender biased laws.  497 does not help a woman if her husband is indulging in adultery. 498A tilts too much in favor of women.

moral of the story - your wife can not file a case against you for adultery - she can only file against the other woman..

if the other woman is married to someone else, then her husband can file case for adultery.

btw living in doesnt mean that there is an adulterous relationship - does it? wink wink?

Not like this :

Dear Manish,

It is like this :

Whoever has s*xual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such s*xual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or with both.         In such case the wife shall be punishable as an abettor.     

Not like this:

Whoever has s*xual intercourse with a person who is and whom she knows or has reason to believe to be the husband of another woman, without the consent or connivance of that woman, such s*xual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or with both. In such case husband shall be punishable as an abettor. 

So a woman cannot have any case against another woman indulging in adultery with her husband.

thanx chandrasekhar ji.. thanx for clarifying..
