Estudio comparado y socio-jurídico de la unión de hecho desde el caso ecuatoriano con los países de América Latina yo la Unión Europea. Caso Finlandia

Abstract

Abstract:The issue of de facto unions has originated as a form of coexistence that, although it does not have the legal ties of marriage, has been constantly growing within society, which is why most of the legislations worldwide have opted for by granting them a legal recognition. This recognition seeks to solve certain legal problems that affect families formed under this modality, personal and patrimonial. Europe has been a pioneer in the recognition of the rights of couples who have decided to live together without the celebration of a marriage, hence guaranteeing the recognition of the rights of these unions. In the case of Finland, there is ample legal protection of so-called de facto couples and their legislation, even though it maintains certain differences in terms of the rights established for de facto couples and those united in marriage. The normative advances aim to guarantee the protection of the family in any of its modalities, even to samesex couples.
