Thanks for the appreciation 7th thinking hat...but whatever gave you the impression that I'm reinforcing your point of view?? well we both are against legalising liveins but for entirely different reasons...you seem to be opposing it cos you consider marriage a pillar of society & legalising liveins would harm the society...I'm opposing it cos I don't care for laws in personal relationships at any stage including the breakup, if any...I firmly believe that nobody who doesn't want to stay in a relationship should be forced to do so (legally or otherwise)...if love has gone its time to say good bye without claiming each other's money & assets.
Also you said 'Till Now, if man wanted to marry another women, he needed to obtain a divorce first, which gives the wife an oppertunity to fight her case. With the live-in arrangement, he can simply ignore his wife and have affairs with another women; It may be pretty difficult to prove the live in relationship, or even to identify who the man is living with. How the legitimately married wife is going to defend her situation. And when things have become too late Mrs No 2 will appear from no where to claim maintainance, a share in the property of husband or simply leave her children with the man; and the legitimate Mrs No 1 will take the burden.'
~~You seem to subscribe to theory X of management which translated to this situation implies that men (yr words I'd prefer spouse to make it genger neutral) stay in relationships & don't go out n live with other womaen only cos of fear of laws?? I happen to think that they stay cos they want to out of love, affection, trust, commitment ( n no not the legal commitment but the commitment of heart)perhaps & if these are not resons enuff to stay then there aren't any as far as i think. & not all Mrs no 1 are paragons of virtues whose rights need to be protected...I've seen enuff calculating Mrs no 1s who have abused the 'rights' given to them by law to extract huge alimonies & prolonging divorces.
Venkatesan examine the quote you've quoted carefully 'Couples cohabit, rather than marry, for a variety of reasons. They may want to test their compatibility before they commit to a legal union.' it looks contradictory to your support of legalisation of live in when you yrself claim that it is testing before legal union??
Right said Charu, marriage is the number one reason for divorce.
