livin relationship is valid for only unmarried male or female or legally divorced persons. you can be charged for any offence but the person you are living with can be charged for bigamy.
(4) That the second marriage was void because it took place during the lifetime of the first spouse, that is the husband or the wife, as the case may be, to whom the accused was first married.

For prosecution for bigamy one must show first of all that at the time of the second marriage, there was first valid subsisting marriage; where proof of either marriage is unsatisfactory, there ought to be no conviction.

It cannot be argued that because the wording of Section 494 is in the singular; it only refers to the marriage by a husband or a wife whose wife or husband is living at the time of the second marriage.

Therefore, where both the parties to the second marriage had their previous spouses living at the time of the second marriage, both of them could file complaints separately and the same second marriage between both of them will have to be treated as resulting in two separate offences of bigamy; one offence in respect of each of them.
n dont go for child as this relation is illicite relationship however child born from this relationship will be legal and legimate child and will have all rights over the fathers assests but not in ancestral property. Father can give , sale his property or can make will to any person.
