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

Abstract

Abstract: In Ecuador, as an alternative or faculty of the cohabitants, couples can constitute de facto unions after fulfilling all the requirements set forth in the law, thus guaranteeing a series of rights in favor of each of the cohabitants, such as rights of inheritance nature, or to receive profits. In Argentina, for its part, the new Civil and Commercial Code adopts for these situations the name of "coexistence unions", these being the unions of two people of the same or different sex in a community of life who, without having legal impediments, choose to not marry, but receive some degree of protection depending on the bond they create. It is because of the above that it has been seen the possibility of carrying out a comparative study about the institution of the de facto union between these two laws, determining their similarities, differences and legal treatment, to later determine the conclusions that the referred study input.
