Living in sin and similar can mean:
- Leading a sinful life
- Cohabiting and having sexual relationships with a person to whom one is not legally married: see Fornication
This phrase arises from the idea that legal marriage is a prerequisite for conjugal relationships. Popularly associated with the attitude of the church, the term connotes a belief that such behaviour is sinful.
