Yes, Live-ini is not an offense under IPC. The courts take long live-ins as marriage if the girl living (in live-in) with you invokes some section of DV or IPC. Otherwise, it is not a bigamy and must not have any problem.

Your live in relationship may be a ground for divorce for your wife. And can also strengthen her DV case against you.

Dear All,

I fully endorse my learned friend Suchitra's view and would like to add further that yes there is a bar pending your divorce qua the admitted live in relationship.

Dear Sunny,

You could have addressed us in a more appropriate way i.e. brothers, sisters, collegues friends Legal Advisors seems to be more of a obligatory term.(especially for students like me and Suchitra.S).

Best Regards

yes, ms. suchitra and mr legal fighter are right.

i only add in this context that, be carefull about married woman, you can not s*x with her because ipc 497 will be applicable against you.  do not go on formal marriage like saptapadi, exchange of garland etc. this will attract sec 494 ipc.

All these friends are telling you the provisions of law and law is such that it will not allow you to live. But if your live in partner is cooprative and willing to stand with you with conviction ; do not worry. No body can harm you law or no law.

yes it is crime under section 497 Indian penal code. And more so you will fell into the consequences of DV. And it also be the ground of divorce against  you in favor of your wife.
