πŸ“Œ When Can a Live-In Relationship Be Challenged?

❌ If one partner is already married – It can be considered bigamy and is illegal. 🚫
❌ If there’s coercion or fraud – A live-in relationship must be based on mutual consent. πŸ“
❌ If one partner is below 18 years – This is legally invalid. ⚠️

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: If you’re in a live-in relationship, having a cohabitation agreement can help define financial responsibilities and legal protections! πŸ“œ✅
