Re: live together relationships in india

the relationship is accepted for the purposes of protection to the girl under the Domestic Violence Act, 2005. No third party can intervene into the relationship except for providing help and protection to the girl from the victimization, if any, by the boy.

The marriage between first cousins is not valid as it falls within "prohibited degrees" of relationships.
