Please specify What type of legal right you are talking about. Your relationship is called 'live-in-relationship'. It is not recognised by any law in India other than the recently enacted 'Protection of women from Domestic Violence Act 2005' whereunder a lady in liv-in-relationship has been given certain rights. You may refer to the said Act for a list of those rights.

Yes, you may have a legal right against your boy-friend; the "live-in" relationship has been recognised under the Domestic Violence Act. You may be entitled to claim compensation / damages from your partner on the same footing as a wife may make claim against her husband.
