Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 12 July 2022 This query is : Resolved 
My husband is a government servant has fall in live-in relationship with one lady. Out of them one child is born.

The lady demanding my husband to marry her, otherwise she will lodge a complaint to government departments.

Is living-in relationship by government servant is legal ? Kindly advise.

Live-in relationship is not illegal, but it could still be held to be a misconduct in a departmental proceedings.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 29 December 2022
live in relations (even if legally permitted) can be termed as a lack of morality in social life and is misconduct for govt employee.

In case your husband has not revealed to the lady that he is married and cannot marry her and promised marriage to her, then he is liaible for charge of rape.
