The problem of regulating live-in relationships

The Hindu  

Uttarakhand recently implemented a Uniform Civil Code, governing various aspects of civil life. One of the novel aspects of the UCC is that it mandates compulsory registration of opposite-sex live-in relationships, and criminalises those engaged in unregistered non-marital cohabitation. It declares that children born in live-in relationships will be considered legitimate, which is an improvement on the existing position of law whereby only children born through void or voidable marriages are deemed legitimate. Drawing from the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, and case law on domestic violence, the UCC defines a ‘live-in relationship’ as a relationship ‘in the nature of marriage’. The Uttarakhand UCC, however, appears to conceptualise ‘live-in relationships’ as a problem to be solved through regulation.
