If I travel to India with my bf & we plan to stay together, would it be easier to pretend we are married?

Question

I thought it would be clear (but obviously not by the answer I've been given) but I mean in regards to being culturally appropriate and not offending anybody?

Answer 1

If you not Indian then dont bother ... If Indian or brown skinned, then yes, people would look at you differently if you say you married...

Answer 5

Actaully people in india are aware of couples staying together without marriage. Though it is not common place there they know it happens everywhere in the world. So i guess you won't be offendign anyone!

And pretending being married will not achieve anything in my opinion.
