Actually what I understand,the meaning of couples means,married persons,husband and wife.How can one say that 'couple in love' for a boy friend and a girl friend?
The BASIC difference is that,a married couple,huband and wife, is the "society approved and goverment approved through law as husband and wife".They both act as next-of-kin to each other and law permits.The husband has a duty to lookafter her and their children,Only law or death can separate them from this strong bond.
"A couple in love",that is a boy friend and girl friend is not the society approved or government approved bond.They can separate and can be separated by self or society.He is not bound to give maintenance to her,as she never has been his wife and he never has been her husband.She got no rigt to his property under the law.If there happend to be some offspring from them,they will not have any approval from the society. (OF COURSE SHE CAN MOVE TO COURT,THATS ALL.) Theses are the basic difference between these two.
