✅ Answer:
Yes, you do! But it’s complicated... just like your relationship status on Facebook. 😅💬
Live-in relationships are not illegal in India, and thanks to several court rulings, partners in such arrangements do enjoy certain rights — both civil and criminal.

👩‍⚖️ Your Rights in a Live-in Relationship (surprise!):
1️⃣ Right to Protection under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005
2️⃣ Right to Maintenance, if the relationship is “in the nature of marriage”
3️⃣ Legitimacy of Children born out of such relationships is protected
4️⃣ Right to Inherit Property (not automatic—needs legal planning)

🤣 Legal LOL:
“Living together doesn’t mean living legally together — unless you consult a lawyer first!” 💼💔
Relationships may be built on trust, but the court? It wants documents. 😄
