Estudio comparado y socio-jurídico de la unión de hecho desde el caso ecuatoriano con Uruguay

Abstract

Asbtract: This research work is structured in the comparative and socio-legal study of the de facto union from the Ecuadorian case with Uruguay, which will be carried out with the use of effective methods and the application of techniques that help us collect information and develop the investigation; It is one of the most important issues within the area of law, since we must remember that this union, formerly known as Concubinato, is one of the oldest forms of human coexistence; and that in previous years in our civil code, this union was between heterosexual couples, that is, between a man and a woman, and for the year 2008 and with the new Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador, this figure took another connotation, it already allows the de facto union between homosexual couples, and as a consequence, new mechanisms emerge that seek to improve the existing problem in terms of the legalization of it and the necessary protection for the children resulting from this union.
