Question
I want to live with my partner without getting married, I will observe the laws of Niddah. What is the halachic issue with this? I am not interested in stringencies or segulot, is there a prohibition from the Torah?
Answer
Shalom Rav, there is a clear prohibition from the Torah (Deuteronomy 23:18): "There shall not be a harlot among the daughters of Israel, nor shall there be a sodomite among the sons of Israel." This prohibition includes any relationship without chuppah and kiddushin.
