CohabitationCOHABITATION AS A SOCIAL PHENOMENON
Increase in the number of unmarried cohabiting couples.
Rationale:
Ideological objection to marriage
Cohabitation as a step towards marriage
Rejection of marriage for pragmatic financial reasons
Uneven couples (one wants to marry and one doesn’t)
APPROACHES TO DEFINING FAMILIES:
1. Formalistic approach
Objective criteria
Marital bonds
Children
Advantage
Clarity
Ease of proof
Disadvantage
Excludes de facto relationships
2. Functional approach
Functions performed by the members of the group
Providing economically for members
Producing and raising children
Providing security and care
Sexual relationship
Advantage
More inclusive taking into account family practices
Disadvantage
More difficult to prove what people do (behind closed doors) than what their formal
relationship is.
THE LAW’S RESPONSE TO COHABITATION
Gammans v Ekins 1950- to say of two people masquerading as these two were as husband and wife,
that they were members of the same family seems to be an abuse of the English language.
, Howes v Evenden 1953- cohabiting couples who have children together could be regarded as
families.
Dyson Holdings v Fox 1976- heterosexual couples without children might also be regarded as
families.
Fitzpatrick v Sterling Housing Association Ltd 1999- the notion of family is not restricted to people
linked by marriage or blood. Features identifying families:
A certain degree of mutual inter-dependence
The sharing of lives, love and caring
Commitment and support
A certain consistency in time and in depth
The presence of a sexual relationship
Joram Developments Ltd v Sharratt 1979- living communally without having a romantic relationship.
Not members of a family as a degree of intimacy is required. Young man living with an elderly
couple, there was no romantic relationship but organised their lives together. No member of the
family.
