Introduction
Many couples live together before they get married, or choose not to get married at all. However, unmarried couples living together have different legal rights compared to married couples[1]. Unmarried couples who prefer to live mutually often don’t bother about whether they have any lawful rights except and until their bond falters. Reaching into a new relationship or bond, the more immeasurable move is to address each person’s expectations of the relationship and the opposite person. After an understanding has been touched on important subjects, these expectations can be diminished to a formal, obligatory agreement. This is essential because it can help sidestep conflicts in the future of the relationship.
Wedded people have several advantages because they get steps to formalize their relationship in the eyes of the law and the government. These rights involve property distribution and spousal maintenance, should they later depart or divorce. Unmarried couples don’t have these advantages and protections; meanwhile, they may prefer to agree to confer each other these benefits.
