The women, dhukni, are not given the rights of a wife, they cannot apply sindoor, nor do they get a part in the husband’s ancestral property, if he dies. Any children born out of this relationship too are not socially recognised. Getting a child's nose and ears pierced is a tradition in our society but children born out of Dhuku marriages are not allowed to get piercings. As a result, they are never socially recognised and accepted.
Although live-in relationships do sound fascinating but in small tribal areas of Jharkhand marriages like these have become more of a compulsion for people, as they're not left with any choice. The adivasis or tribals of these regions for centuries have been deprived of basic social recognition and respect because of their poverty.
