ANNOTATIONTerm “live together”. Under former section proscribing conduct under the term “living together”, the term was construed to mean living under the same roof or under such conditions as husband and wife usually live. But occasional acts of clandestine illicit intercourse are not alone sufficient to constitute living together. People v. Bright, 77 Colo. 563 , 238 P. 71 (1925) (decided under former C.L. § 6835).
