What is a civil marriage

The Russian legislative framework does not have the concept of "civil marriage". Therefore, it is impossible to consider this type of relationship from a legal point of view.

If a man and a woman live in the same room and conduct a common household, but officially do not register a marriage, then this relationship can be called as you like. It can be “free relations”, “not registered marriage”, “cohabitation” or a more familiar ear - “civil marriage”. At the same time, a couple does not have any legal legal obligations to each other.

In such a marriage, intimate, economic and property relations are built only on trust in each other.

Some couples living in a civil marriage promote him intensely, relying, in their opinion, on numerous “pluses”:

Rapid conclusion and termination of the Union (gathered and arrived);
Lack of long -term red tape with documents that are present in the preparation and registration of official marriage;
The ability to check each other for compatibility.

But the above “pluses” are completely leveled by “minuses”. The first and most important is the absence of the rights of a couple in terms of property claims to each other. Having lived for some time together, and then deciding to part, the man and woman must independently divide the property. If they can’t closely share the acquired “spoon-thumbs”, then not a single court will take up this case.

Loaded

And if a child is born in such an unfinished marriage, then the couple gets even more problems. In order to enter his legal father in the birth certificate of the baby, you often have to resort to the procedure "Establishment of paternity". This can happen if a cohabitant (civil husband) refuses the baby.

Entering civil relations, a man and a woman endanger themselves, in the sense of lack of family legal assistance from the state. Nevertheless, thousands of couples throughout the country live in civil marriages and are quite satisfied with this. So, whether to make relations with a partner legally or continue to live “freely”, solve only a couple of loving people.
