Estudio comparado y socio-jurídico de la sociedad de hecho desde el caso ecuatoriano con Chile

Abstract

The common-law union of fact is a growing social reality considering itself one of the oldest forms of human coexistence, known as Concubinage; In Ecuador, the common-law union de facto union is defined as creating rights and obligations for the couple, including protection of children; provided that in this type of relationship more than two years of monogamous coexistence as established in the Civil Code and in the Ecuadorian Constitution have the same legal effects as the marriage. There is no express recognition in the Chilean legal system of common-law union; But there are several rules that recognize the status of cohabitant which assigns some legal effect; obviously each society has its laws according to cultural, geographical, coexistence, needs; so that, a socio-legal comparison of the common-law union can be analyzed and carried out between Chile and Ecuador, determining a reasonable doubt of their similarities and differences in favor of the Ecuadorian legislation
