Abstract:

This dissertation will focus on common intention constructive trusts in relation to shared ownership of the family home predominantly in relation to unmarried couples. These trusts are particularly important because as opposed to married couples where the court may determine a couple’s financial and property issues upon divorce using the provisions of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973, the position of unmarried couples is not covered by any legislation and so judges need to refer back to case law and property law in order to establish the equitable ownership of property.

Abstract:

On 30 June 2016, the European Court of Human Rights (hereafter ‘European Court’) decided that a binational same-sex couple was discriminated against because they were not allowed to marry; and at the same time, they were unable to live in Italy as a couple. For nearly one decade, human rights non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have submitted third-party interventions asking the European Court to recognize that unmarried same-sex couples should be treated differently from unmarried different sex couples when the first have no possibility of marrying. This article argues that the European Court has finally accepted what the NGOs have suggested since 2007, and that the decision in Taddeucci and McCall v. Italy signals a positive step forward from the ‘analogous situation’ doctrine towards recognizing indirect discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation for same-sex couples.

Abstract:

As more unmarried couples become parents, it is important to understand the dynamics that help these couples to maintain strong relationships. This article explores the association of the two partners' beliefs about father involvement with their likelihood of union dissolution and transition to marriage, using the first two waves of the Fragile Families survey ( n = 2,303). It finds that couples are more likely to end their union when partners do not believe that fathers' caregiving is very important and when the father participates less. Partners are less likely to marry if the mother does not believe that fathers' caregiving is very important. These effects are distinct from the quality of the couple's relationship and suggest that unmarried parents who value the father's role as a hands-on parent may be more motivated to build a stronger relationship.

Abstract:

The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights, in X and Others v. Austria, held by a majority of ten to seven that Austria violated Article 14 (prohibition on discrimination) taken in conjunction with Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (the Convention) when it denied an unmarried same-sex couple the right to a second-parent adoption when second-parent adoptions are available to unmarried opposite-sex couples. This is the first time the European Court of Human Rights (the Court) has recognized a right to second-parent adoption by same-sex couples.

Abstract:

Surnaming practices are a case study of change and continuity in patrilineal conventions in families and also alert us to the challenges of negotiating familial identities in an era of family diversity. Using data from two Australian sources, 430,753 Victorian birth registrations and 43 in-depth interviews with heterosexual and lesbian parents, we explore continuity and breaks with convention in surnaming children. For married and unmarried heterosexual couples, the dominant surnaming practice was for children to take their father’s name. By contrast, several surnaming strategies were more popular among lesbian couples including: using hyphenated or double-barrelled surnames, using the birth or non-birth mother’s surname or creating a new name for the family. Despite these differences, we contend that through their surnaming decisions both lesbian and heterosexual couples are concerned with displaying the legitimacy of their parental relationships to extended family and institutional audiences. For unmarried heterosexual couples, surnames display ‘intact’ families and paternal commitment whereas for lesbian couples the legitimacy concern is the recognition of the same-sex couple as parents.

Abstract:

This article compares the legal protections and rights now in place for LGBTQ(QUEER) and unmarried couples to those of the straight couples. They are prevented from taking use of several legal benefits like compensatory rights, educational and insurance welfare programs, etc. for the offspring due to the misidentification of Queer couples and the unmarried pair within the definition of a legally married couple. This illegal prejudice is shown in order to reconsider and provide them equal legal protections under the protection of the right to life guaranteed by Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. The researcher conducted a comparative analysis of the laws of several nations. The article also emphasizes the necessity of enhancing the current legal and legislative framework in our nation. By analyzing many situations and reviewing current literature to identify the gaps, the researcher chose qualitative and doctrinal research methodologies.

Abstract:

Objectives: This study investigates the applicability of marriage checkups for dating couples and evaluates its effectiveness. Methods: Employing a single-case, multiple-baseline design, four couples participated in a couple checkup, comprising assessment and feedback sessions. Statistical and visual analyses were conducted to assess the impact of the checkup, supplemented by qualitative interviews to capture participant experiences. Results: Results indicate positive changes in couples' understanding of their relationships, understanding of strategies for improvement, self-efficacy, motivation for change, and overall relationship satisfaction. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with checkup participation. Conclusions: These findings indicate that couple checkups might serve as a beneficial tool for unmarried dating couples, offering valuable support as they navigate the early stages of romantic relationships.

Abstract:

Abstract There remains a lack of knowledge on marital satisfaction of African Americans generally, but particularly older African Americans. In addition, only a handful of studies investigate satisfaction among couples who are unmarried. With data from the National Survey of American Life, this study examined the correlates of romantic and marital satisfaction among older African Americans. Findings reveal that married older African Americans were slightly more satisfied with their relationship than individuals who were either remarried or unmarried but in a romantic relationship. Among older African American married adults, older age was associated with higher marital satisfaction, and men had higher levels of marital satisfaction than women. Also, married older African Americans with lower family incomes reported higher marital satisfaction. Given the limited research on older African Americans couples, either married or unmarried, this study offers valuable implications for individuals and professionals engaging these couples in practical settings.

Abstract:

Couples (22 young, married, 18 young unmarried) completed the Exchange Orientation Scale, which measures how much individuals believe equality of exchange should characterize their social relationships, as well as the Norman Personality Trait Scale, which gives measures for the self and ideal-self. Couples also rated their sexual satisfaction, their partners' physical attractiveness, their own attractiveness, and had their photographs evaluated for attractiveness by disinterested raters. Subgroups were formed of physically attractive couples, couples in which the members were of disparate attractiveness, and couples in which the individuals perceived themselves as equal to their partners in attractiveness or as inferior. In accordance with exchange theory, the hypotheses were (1) unmarried men would show higher exchange scores than married men, (2) attractive men in disparately attractive couples would show greater exchange scores than attractive men in both-attractive couples, (3) attractive members of disparately attractive couples would possess lower self-acceptance and (4) experience greater sexual satisfaction than attractive members of both-attractive couples. Results supported all hypotheses in varying extents.

Abstract:

In this article, educational homogamy among married and cohabiting couples in selected European countries is examined. Using data from two waves (2002 and 2004) of the European Social Survey, this article compares three cultural and institutional contexts that differ in terms of institutionalization of cohabitation. Evidence from log-linear models yields two main conclusions. First, as cohabitation becomes more common in society, marriage and cohabitation become more similar with respect to partner selection. Second, where married and unmarried unions differ in terms of educational homogamy, married couples have higher odds of overcoming educational barriers (i.e., intermarrying with other educational groups).

Abstract:

The European “backyard of rights” is enlarging and Member States face a new period of acknowledgment of human rights. The guarantee of the new rights occurs both through national legislation and through the jurisprudence of international or supranational courts. The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) became the “fourth judge” called to intervene when the domestic legislation is not guardian of new rights regarding the recognition of the same-sex couples but also the adoption of a child by these couples. In this sense, recently the ECtHR ruled that the impossibility of second-parent adoption in a same-sex relationship is discriminatory when such adoption is possible for unmarried heterosexual couples, although the exclusion of the biological parent. Thus, the decision of the ECtHR established the principle that the adoption of children by same-sex partners should be possible, as it is for heterosexual unmarried couples.

Abstract:

This study investigates the relative similarity of educational assortative mating patterns among young married and cohabiting couples using Canadian census data from 1991, 1996, and 2001. It contrasts the patterns observed in Quebec with those observed elsewhere in Canada, as these regions display very different demographic trends, especially with respect to cohabitation. First, we hypothesize that the gap between married and unmarried couples will be smaller in Quebec, as cohabitation is more common in this province. Second, we suggest that the double-selection hypothesis predicting higher educational homogamy among married couples should be more appropriate to explain the behaviours observed in Canada outside of Quebec, whereas the utilitarian theory predicting higher educational homogamy among cohabiting couples should apply better to the French province situation. The results fully support our first hypothesis. However, the analyses do not unambiguously confirm our second hypothesis concerning the direction of the differences. Even though we find that married couples living outside of Quebec generally display higher levels of educational homogamy than cohabiting partners, no clear trend is observed in Quebec. In addition, our data do not reveal any clear change over the period considered. Résumé. Cet article examine le degré d’homogamie éducative des jeunes couples mariés et en union libre à partir des données du recensement canadien de 2001. Il compare les comportements des couples québécois à ceux observés ailleurs au Canada, compte tenu de l’évolution différente qu’ont connue ces deux régions, particulièrement en regard des unions libres. Dans un premier temps, nous faisons l’hypothèse que l’écart entre couples mariés et cohabitants sera plus faible au Québec, l’union libre étant plus répandue dans cette province. En deuxième lieu, nous suggérons que l’hypothèse de la «double-sélection» prédisant un plus haut niveau d’homogamie éducative chez les couples mariés est plus appropriée pour rendre compte des comportements observés au Canada en dehors du Québec, alors que la théorie utilitariste prédisant une homogamie éducative plus grande parmi les couples en union libre colle davantage à la situation de la province francophone. Les résultats de l’analyse ne confirment pas nos hypothèses. L’écart qui sépare mariage et union libre est relativement semblable dans les deux régions du pays et les couples cohabitants affichent dans l’ensemble un niveau d’homogamie plus faible que leurs homologues mariés.

Abstract:

Background: Beta thalassemias are group of autosomal recessive disorders of hemoglobin synthesis affecting many people worldwide. The study was undertaken to identify carriers of β-thalassemia through extended family screening in communities with high preference of consanguineous marriage.Methods: Ninety families consisting of 130 index cases (β-thalassemia major) with 3466 living family members were approached for testing, of these 1702 were tested. All carriers and couple at risk received counseling and followed for three years.Results: A total of 629 carriers were identified out of 1702 tested members. Of these 310 were married couples and 319 were unmarried. Of the 310 married couples 116 couples were at high risk for producing affected child as both the partners were carriers. There have been four new marriages and seven engagements. Of these no any new married couples were at risk but one engaged couple was at risk as both being a known carrier.Conclusions: Following index cases is reliable and feasible way to study the inherited hemoglobin disorder in high-risk communities and in communities with high preference of consanguineous marriages. High numbers of carriers and couples at risk were identified by screening a very small number of populations.

Abstract:

This study aims to comprehensively describe the issuance of Family Cards in the perspective of maslahah (social benefit) and justice for the legitimacy of marriage for sirri married couples in Bengkulu Province. This research is a qualitative empirical research with a statutory approach, a case and field approach, and a concept approach. This study found that the issuance of Family Cards for marriages of unmarried couples is a form of upholding justice in a social (commutative) framework where everyone has the same rights over marital status. On the other hand, the issuance of a Family Card for unmarried couples can be categorized as maslahah al-khassah (special benefit) which benefits only a few parties, not maslahah al-ammah (general benefit) which applies to the whole community. This study also found that the impact of including the statement "Unregistered Marriage" in the issuance of Family Cards for unregistered married couples can lead to maslahah al-mulghah in the form of legal confusion regarding the legality of one's marriage while at the same time hindering the updating of centralized data which is on the government's agenda.

Abstract:

Society has changed considerably over the past fifty years. Whereas before, most people got married, had several children during the marriage and divorce was still relatively rare, currently, there is much more diversity with different forms of cohabitation. Although this trend is present throughout Europe, there is a large difference in the pace and manner in which the new patterns of society are manifesting themselves there. This article indicates that the same applies to the fiscal recognition of unmarried cohabitants and stepchildren from a married couple and an unmarried couple (‘informal’ stepchildren). In the Netherlands, married and unmarried couples are now treated entirely the same for income, gift, and inheritance tax purposes. This also applies to formal and informal stepchildren. In a European context, the Netherlands is therefore leading the way in recognizing nontraditional cohabitation variants in tax legislation. With this article, the author not only discusses the tax treatment in various European countries but also the possible arguments for (not) equating them. The author hopes to contribute to the discussion of whether extra-marital cohabitation and other related relationships should be treated in the same way for tax purposes as relationships that arise through marriage.

Abstract:

Research indicates the continuance of a rising trend in cohabitation among heterosexual couples. Although most cohabitors eventually marry or break up, there is a subset of cohabitors that are consciously committed to remaining unmarried. Based on interviews with 45 committed unmarried heterosexual couples residing in the United States, this study investigates the reasons why some choose to abstain from legal marriage altogether. Participants indicate a variety of reasons for forgoing legal marriage, including political views, economic practicalities, divorce concerns, and a lack of rationales or incentives to marry. The reasons offered fit into two larger categories: unease about the meanings associated with marriage and concerns about what marriage does to the relationship. As a subset of cohabitors often overlooked in research, it is important to understand what motivates some into saying “I Don’t” to legal marriage.

Abstract:

Voorgaand onderzoek naar de rol van partnerkeuze in relatieontbinding toont aan dat partners die afkomstig zijn uit verschillende herkomstgroepen doorgaans een hogere kans hebben om uit elkaar te gaan. Deze onderzoeken focussen zich echter voornamelijk op huwelijken en het blijft daarom onduidelijk of dezelfde dynamieken zich ook aftekenen binnen ongehuwd samenwonende koppels en wat de rol is van voorhuwelijks samenwonen. Dit artikel bestudeert de samenhang tussen partnerkeuze en relatieontbinding voor een steekproef van koppels die voor de eerste keer huwden of ongehuwd gingen samenwonen tussen 1999 en 2001. De data zijn afkomstig uit de Belgische Kruispuntbank voor Sociale Zekerheid en geven informatie over de ontbindingskansen van gehuwd en ongehuwd samenwonende koppels met minstens één partner van Belgische, Zuid‐Europese, Turkse, Marokkaanse, Congolese, Burundese of Rwandese afkomst. Aan de hand van survival analyse en multivariate event history modellen gaat dit onderzoek na of ontbindingskansen verschillen tussen endogame en gemengde koppels en of deze dynamieken gelijkaardig zijn over de verschillende relatietypes heen. De resultaten geven aan dat endogame koppels de laagste ontbindingskansen hebben als het gaat om een huwelijk zonder substantiële periode van voorhuwelijks samenwonen. Voor koppels die ongehuwd samenwonen of huwden na een periode van ongehuwd samenwonen zien we dit patroon echter niet terugkomen en zijn verschillen naar partnerkeuze beperkter of zijn het net de gemengde koppels die lagere ontbindingskansen hebben. Na controle voor relevante achtergrondkenmerken blijkt vooral voor gemengde koppels de kans op relatieontbinding sterk te verschillen naar relatietype. Abstract : Previous studies on the role of partner choice in relationship dissolution have shown that partners who come from different ethnic groups usually have a higher chance of separating. However, these studies focus on marriages and it therefore remains unclear whether the same dynamics can be seen in unmarried cohabiting couples or what the exact role of this period of premarital cohabitation is. This article examines the relationship between partner choice and relationship dissolution in a sample of couples who married for the first time or started living together without being married between 1999 and 2001. The data comes from the Belgian Crossroads Bank of Social Security and give information on union dissolution among married and unmarried cohabiting couples with at least one partner of Belgian, Southern European, Turkish, Moroccan, Congolese, Burundian or Rwandan descent. Based on survival analysis and multivariate event history models, this study examines whether dissolution chances differ between endogamous and mixed couples and whether or not these dynamics are different across relationship types. The results indicated that endogamous couples have the lowest chance of dissolution when it comes to marriages without a substantial period of premarital cohabitation. For couples who were unmarried cohabiting or married after a period of unmarried cohabitation, we did not find this pattern and differences in partner choice are more limited or we observe the mixed couples to have elevated dissolution chances. After checking for relevant background characteristics it turns out that especially for mixed couples, the chance of relationship dissolution appears to differ strongly according to relationship type.

Abstract This article considers the impact of the recent judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-673/16 Coman and Others in which same-sex marriages where found to fall under the definition of ‘spouse’ in the Citizenship Directive. In light of recent societal and case law developments in Europe it is possible that Coman may come to be an important foundational case which will form part of the groundwork for the CJEU to advance the rights of unmarried couples in the EU migration context. This article examines the current position of unmarried couples (including registered or civil partners) under EU migration legislation as well as recent developments under the European Convention of Human Rights to argue that there are clear indications that EU migration laws need to be adapted to better suit a wider range of relationships than marriage.

Abstract:

1999 may well go down in history as a watershed in the legal struggle for gay and lesbian equality. While in the late 1990s many legislatures across the world extended various statutory benefits to same-sex relationships,1 most legal systems continue to make a clear statutory distinction between same-sex and opposite-sex couples (usually by ignoring the former completely), as well as the more obvious (and deliberate) distinction between married and unmarried couples. Both distinctions have come under increasing challenge and in 1999 decisions from each of the highest courts in Canada, South Africa and Vermont, U.S.A. held legislation to be unconstitutional which treated same-sex couples differently from opposite-sex couples. In that year too, the British House of Lords held that a same-sex couple could be a “family” for certain statutory purposes,2 and the European Court of Human Rights for the first time accepted that the prohibition of discrimination contained in Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights covered sexual orientation discrimination.3

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine teachers' marital status and their job satisfaction in Transkei secondary schools. The 58 married teachers experienced more job satisfaction than the 63 unmarried teachers. This was attributed to the general happiness and satisfaction associated with marriage and couples' sharing of work.

Abstract:

Drawing on a comparative study of evangelical premarital counseling programs, I analyze how the leadership construct sexual discourses that reimagine and reify existing views about sex and how to feel about it. Situated within evangelicalism’s emotional regime that conceptualizes unmarried believers in a sexual battleground and married couples in a playground, engaged couples occupy a liminal position where they must engage in emotion work to relearn how to think and feel about sex. Comparing the sexual discourses at each program— sexuality as a behavior and sexuality as embodied—that inform leaderships’ advice to couples beginning to make this transition, I find that how they talk about sex has consequences for how they imagine people should manage their emotions.

Abstract:

Background: Fertility physicians are gatekeepers of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and have immediate control over access to fertility care. However, little is understood about their attitudes and willingness to provide and support different procedures. Therefore, we examined fertility physicians’ perspectives on support of public funding and willingness to provide care in various scenarios. Methods: We invited fertility physicians attending the 8th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2018) to participate in a 10-minute survey. Participants completed the survey anonymously and in private. Results: 78 out of 105 fertility physicians from 12 countries completed the survey (response rate = 74.3%). Mean age was 44.9 years (SD = 11.1). A majority of respondents supported public funding for ART: 76.3% for intrauterine insemination and 80.5% for in vitro fertilization. For controversial procedures, a majority agreed to provide social egg freezing (88.5%) compared to sex selection (25.6%) and gene editing for nonmedical reasons (19.2%), p < 0.001 for both comparisons. Support for public funding was also significantly higher for social egg freezing (51.3%) compared to sex selection (23.1%) and gene editing for nonmedical reasons (20.5%), p < 0.001 for both comparisons. For eligibility criteria, willingness to provide treatment to single women (50.0%) was significantly higher compared to other nontraditional family structures — single men (33.3%), p < 0.001, male homosexual couples (33.3%), p = 0.002, female homosexual couples (32.1%), p = 0.001 and unmarried heterosexual couples (32.1%), p = 0.004. Consistently, support for public finding was significantly higher for single women (32.1%) compared to single men (23.1%), p = 0.013, male homosexual couples (20.5%), p = 0.020, and unmarried heterosexual couples (20.5%), p = 0.006. Conclusions: These results show support for public funding and conservative opinions toward ART for nontraditional family structures among physicians in the Asia-Pacific region.

Abstract:

The current study extends prior research on perceptual congruence within couples by examining some variables of perceptual congruence in the context of dyadic coping. We examined each partner’s perceived similarity in dyadic coping, actual similarity in providing and receiving support in times of stress, and what we call the couple bond, that is, the recognition of each partner’s coping efforts as measured at a couple level. In a sample of 281 married and unmarried couples, we tested the predictive power of perceptual congruence variables on relationship satisfaction. Congruence variables were computed through an idiographic or dyad-centered approach. In order to measure congruence pertaining to each dyad and separate two equally important components of dyadic congruence (i.e., unique similarity and stereotypical similarity), stereotype adjusted and not-adjusted scores were computed. The results indicated that, with adjusted scores, the effect of the perceptual congruence of dyadic coping was weakened but, for women at least, the effect of perceived similarity remained significant and the variable of couple bond was marginally significant. The results provide preliminary clues to the role of dyadic coping within an interpersonal- and social-based perspective.

Abstract:

Adoption is carried out by a legally married couple and could also be done by someone who does not want to build a household but still wants to have children as successors and who would take care of them in the future as a single parent. Article 10 paragraph (3) of the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 110/HUK/2009 concerning Child Adoption Requirements states that child adoption through a childcare institution could be carried out firstly by a prospective foster parent. Prospective Foster Parents have been legally married for a minimum of five years, as stated in Article 20 letter e of the Regulation of the Minister of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia Number 110/HUK/2009. In this research journal, we would discuss the issue of Child Adoption by Non-Marriage Person. This study focuses on normative legal research that examines the content of legislation. This legal research was conducted with two approaches consisting of a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. Researchers would find ideas that provide legal understanding, legal concepts, and legal principles. This research concludes that adoption could be carried out by married couples and non-married person/single parent. It is referred to Government Regulation Number 54 of 2007 concerning Adoption of Children. This regulation is reinforced by the issuance of Circular Letter of the Supreme Court (SEMA) Number 6 of 1983 explaining that it is possible for Indonesian citizens who are unmarried, have been married, or a single parent, to adopt a child.

Abstract:

Dramatic percentage increases in female soldiers, married enlisted soldiers, spouses in the labor force, female single-parent soldiers, and dual military couples have changed the demography of the Army substantially since the end of the Vietnam War and the institution of the All Volunteer Army. The presence of dual-career military families is one change that has shifted the traditional pattern of the unmarried male soldier led by a married male officer. This report documents the changes in dual military families since the early 1970s in the U.S. Army and discusses what effects, if any, there may be on family adaptation, retention, readiness, and use of services and what effects current downsizing initiatives might have on the prevalence of dual military couples in the Army.

Abstract:

Marital disruption (i.e., separation or divorce) impacts an estimated 40-50% of married couples. Previous research has shown that marital disruption results in negative health outcomes for children and adolescents. Our study aims to investigate the relationship between marital disruptions and internalizing disorders of children in a prospective cohort. Comparisons between marital status groups at each time point showed a significant difference in CBCL score between children in married and unmarried families at 3 years of age, with children in unmarried families having a 0.10 higher standardized CBCL score (95% CI: 0.09-0.12; p<.0001). Differences in CBCL score by marital status were not significant at 5 and 9 years after adjusting for confounders. Parental marital status is associated with an increased CBCL internalizing behavior score at 3 years of age, but the association disappears at later time points.

AbstractThis article addresses and challenges recent comments to the effect that the common law rules about unmarried couples' property rights are uncertain, and (or but) that these rules yield an unfair result in a common scenario. It goes on to consider the Law Commission's proposed scheme aimed at reform of this area, raising the concern that this would violate Article 1 of the First Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights.
