i am sorry aashaka but it is really not important, a live in relationship can go on without commitment too.

Yes commitment is not really necessary in this relationships and may be that the benefit of this relation that no official barriers and commitment only the negotiation between the each-other is needed.
Now our society is not ready to accept lot of things and live in relationship is one of them.Only we can hope that our society will develop soon.

that is why,I said,"may be".

i'm agree with aashaka......

sorry for posting such a long article between the discussion going on here, but found it quite relevant:

HUMANS HAVE, by far, been the choicest victims of emotional somersaults, succumbing imminently to the gravitational pull of relationships. Nobody can lead a solitary life out of personal choice. No matter what kind of relationship, man seems to be bound by someone in his life to draw a meaning to it. And when we talk about relationships, romance can’t be far behind, can it?

India is widely known as a country with strong moral values and traditional integrity. Perhaps, that’s why bold exhibitions of romance go for a toss in such a typical society, least being something like live-in-relationships in India. The union of a man and a woman is considered as one of the most sacred acts in this country. No wonder, living together before marriage is a sour dampener for the staunch ethic upholders. However, the new millennium has ushered in great changes even within the country that has forever been enshrouded in a blanket of rich culture and heritage.

Incited by anything from movies to daily soaps, the younger generation, although in a population that is quite minor, has started leading a very liberal lifestyle. In a bid to know their partners better, they denounce the age-old ethics and get down to some serious living together agreements.

Since there is no living together law to intrude in their differences and even disputes, it gives them all the more reason to exercise their seemingly liberal and mature discretion for such rectification. With the amount of independence and privacy included in such a relationship, anyone would think it to be an ideal move. However, there is more to it than catches the eye. One needs to really dig into the pros and cons of living together to know what he or she is getting into. Agreed that the whole ball game of a live-in-relationship seems more tempting than a triple fudge sundae, but the smudge can be even more irritating than that harmless cup of frozen cream. A lack of commitment in the real sense and a dangerous level of liberty loom over the relationship to topple it over anytime. And for those who prefer it as a prelude to the real act of tying the knot, the pros and cons of living together before marriage shape up as an even greater challenge, more so because of the social issues involved in it.

All said and done, the bottom line is that India is not quite a fertile ground for the cultivation of live-in-relationships, at least not as long as the strong roots of the age-old ethics hold ground.
