Indian law does not recognize live-in relationships as legally binding, so an agreement might not offer the same level of protection as marriage. While it can be helpful for clarity on finances and responsibilities, it’s essential to understand that it carries no legal weight and may not provide the desired safety and commitment guarantee.
