Is it legal for older people to live together and not get married? Why?
Is it legal for older people to live together and not get married? Why?
Personally, I think it's not legal, but it's reasonable! The reason is as follows:
1, the elderly again partner, no longer like young people as the pursuit of love and romance, but the pursuit of mutual companionship, there is a talker, to avoid too lonely.
2. There are so many things involved in the remarriage of an older person. Very often, the elderly remarriage, is not a simple thing. Many children will strongly oppose the remarriage of their fathers or mothers for fear that the other party will come with a purpose.
3, the elderly if remarried, a little careless, may later life will become a mess. However, cohabitation can not, did not receive that paper, not legally protected, does not involve the inheritance of property and so on, some of the troubles will become less.
4. In some places, after a hundred years, the elderly need to be buried with their spouses or something like that. If a person left behind after the death of his or her partner gets married again, when he or she dies in the future, the children will be unhappy because of the joint burial. After all, most of the children want to be buried together with their own mother and father, not with their stepfather or stepmother after death.
Personally, I'm kind of in favor of this approach. It's okay for the elderly to find a partner again. After all, after losing a partner, the one who stays behind, if the children are too busy, is really quite lonely and isolated. If there is a companion, take care of each other, have a talk, really quite good. Without a marriage license, it is purely a companion for life. In this way, can avoid a lot of family conflicts, the happiness index is a little higher!
Is it legal to live together in old age and not get married? Thanks for the invitation to answer questions.
The old age is not just about material and property abundance, but more than that, it is about spirituality and mindfulness as well as the usual care and concern of the relatives...
Older people living together in cohabitation, if they do not fulfill the legal formalities are not protected by the law, and in the event of any accidents, can not be protected by the law. If during the period of cohabitation, there is a common property acquired, if you do not get a marriage license? These belongings cannot be guaranteed; if there are ill-intentioned people who take this opportunity to cheat on their belongings, as well as incidents of violence, health problems and accidents, all of these will not be protected by the law.
As to whether it is legal? Legally speaking, definitely not. But it is understandable in terms of reason and reality...
First, the license is afraid of trouble to save time. If we get along, we get together; if we don't, we get apart.
Secondly, they can't stand the skepticism of those around them and the opposition of their children.
Thirdly, they are afraid of the problems of their respective properties and future support after the license is issued.
To sum up, the elderly living together without a license, both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is flexible, no hardware constraints; the disadvantage is the lack of legal responsibilities and obligations, the lack of mutual protection, but in the event of a dispute, may not be good mediation, and serious and there are unforeseen and endless consequences and exhaustion of family and children.
Therefore, the elderly living together in cohabitation without a license, or to think clearly, should be on the pros and cons of the consideration of the pros and cons of the loss of a clear prognosis and thought preparation, lest in case there is any aftermath of the latter, regret are too late...
Thank you for your question. This question has a certain degree of representativeness, society such phenomena caused by a lot of family conflicts, objectively, the demand and the market has a certain steel need ......
First of all, we have to recognize that illegal cohabitation is a violation of the Marriage Act and the relevant ordinances. However, we also have to reflect on the fact that there are so many elderly people living together illegally in our society, what does it portend and what does it tell us? From what angle should we approach this kind of problem?
Elderly friends illegal cohabitation must have his root cause ...... their generation in the resume to catch up with the one-child policy, but also to pay a lifetime of energy coincided with the reform and opening up. Therefore, conservative and open-minded are the characteristics of their generation. We do not intend to prove them right or wrong, nor do we intend to use the law to regulate its reasonableness, we just use the reality to affirm its existence and needs.
As we all know, many elderly people are now living alone after losing their spouses, and this partly reflects the lagging behind of elderly care institutions. When society as a whole has to meet the needs of these elderly people in their old age, it is overstretched and loses sight of its own needs. We will also find that either the requirements for admission are high or the prices of nursing homes are high. The pensions of some of the elderly may not be able to meet the monthly rent of a nursing home, so it is normal for those who have to stay behind to age at home.
These elderly people who live alone at home are just like the left-behind children, they also need care and affection, and they don't ask their children to return the favor when they try to give their whole life. Parents only want their children to be healthy and happy. ......
Now the parents are old, the children are in their prime in the struggle, the afterglow in addition to the phone, what can the old people expect? To blame the children's unfiliality, that can not be said, because they were also so over. Children's health and happiness is the parents of the day, the old people just pray for happy every day.
The increase in the number of widows and orphans living alone has increased the opportunities for the elderly to remarry, something they were ashamed of, but now they can walk down the sunny path with honor. They have accepted the baptism of the world, and bravely face the regeneration of the sunset. Happiness is to break through the world, the shackles of elderly remarriage is to rely on their own to break.
There are always a few leaves that don't get the sun in these wonderful prospects.
Some elderly people attach great importance to their families and children, and they do not want to create a gap between them and their children. There are also some elderly people who, in order to avoid disputes over property after remarriage, have adopted the strategy of "cohabitation without marriage", so as to break the awkward situation of unnecessary redistribution of property in the future. Therefore, the phenomenon of "cohabitation without marriage for the elderly" has its social roots, and under all sorts of unavoidable circumstances, group care is also a way to quench their thirst.
Some juniors do a good job, they will often care for the life and emotional needs of the elderly people after work, they will consider the needs of the parents generation behind the lonely back ...... far water can not quench the thirst of the parents generation of these behaviors they also acquiesced, as long as the two sides of the family does not produce conflicts.
Anyway, there is always a market for it ......
Of course it is legal, twilight love is also love, not only young people, middle-aged and old people also have the right to experience the sweetness and passion of love and cohabitation. To use a more fashionable word to describe it is trial marriage. But be careful, some people think they are single, but after cohabitation, they are convicted by the court of bigamy, and in serious cases, they face jail time.
Cohabitation without marriage can easily bring to mind the term - illegal cohabitation. In fact, this is a statement made many years ago, with a relatively strong feudal flavor. Is it illegal to live together without marriage? Of course not, otherwise all the young people nowadays will be arrested. In fact, now there is no longer illegal cohabitation. So how did the term "illegal cohabitation" come about?

I. Where did the term illegal cohabitation come from?
In the Opinions of the Supreme People's Court on the Trial by the People's Courts of Cases of Cohabitation in the Name of Husband and Wife without Marriage Registration, issued on December 31, 1989, it is clearly stipulated that "Cohabitation in the name of husband and wife without marriage registration shall be governed by the following provisions.Unlawful cohabitationRelationship Treatment."
First of all, illegal cohabitation was mentioned here, and later on, people referred to the cohabitation relationship between a man and a woman without a marriage license as illegal cohabitation. Doesn't it feel a bit shameful?
However, on December 24, 2001, the Supreme People's Court issued a Judicial Interpretation of the Marriage Law, stating that in the future, "where a man and a woman meet the substantive requirements for marriage, the people's court shall advise them to register their marriage before the case is accepted; if they fail to do so, they shall be dealt with in the same manner as if they had dissolved their cohabitation.
Have you noticed that there is no longer the term illegal cohabitation? This shows that the law has to be amended in line with the current social development. Cohabitation without marriage cannot be recognized as an illegal act. So in the future, don't say illegal cohabitation in passing, so that we can look more educated!。
So are all unmarried cohabitation behaviors legal? Of course not, easy to understand, cannon give you a few real cases.

II. Several common cases of cohabitation
1. Cohabitation between spouses without
In 2019, 58-year-old Mr. Li and 52-year-old Auntie Wang are both Shanghai locals, originally did not have absolutely no intersection of the 2, because often participate in the cultural activities organized by the community and met. Mr. Li's wife passed away early, has been single for more than 10 years. Mr. Li's wife passed away early, and he has been single for more than 10 years. Auntie Wang, on the other hand, divorced after a bad relationship and has been single for about 5 years. The two people at first sight, always have endless words, slowly each other have a good feeling, and to determine the relationship, and jointly rented a room outside to live together. But the fear of children do not agree, so it has been hidden.
To outsiders who don't know them, the 2 look like a loving couple, so the neighbors default to them being a middle-aged couple. Mr. Li's son found that Mr. Li's whereabouts in the past year is very mysterious, often do not go home, so tracking Mr. Li, until the discovery of the secret. Mr. Lee's son is worried that Auntie Wang is cheating his father's real estate and savings, many times to discourage still no effect, to illegal cohabitation as the reason, called the police.
Case Analysis: Mr. Li and Auntie Wang are both single, and although they have a history of marriage, they are legally unmarried. Therefore, their unmarried cohabitation status is the same as that of young people in their twenties, which does not violate the law and the freedom of love. The act of cohabitation is not only not subject to moral constraints, but should be encouraged and congratulated. To a certain extent, it can reduce the burden of old age on the children.

2. Spouse cohabiting with another person, not in the name of husband and wife
In 2018, Xiao Xu, 30, from Guangyuan, Sichuan, came to Guangzhou to work in an electronics factory.Xiao Xu is married and has a 3-year-old son. Xiao Xu found that 22-year-old Xiao Li, who was on the same assembly line as him, was pretty, lively and cute, and had a good figure. Thinking of their own one person working outside, very lonely, so lied about being single, Xiao Li launched a frantic pursuit. Xiao Xu cares for Xiao Li in every way, arranges for the easiest job for Xiao Li as the assembly line team leader, and buys breakfast for Xiao Li every day. Xiao Li feels that Xiao Xu is sincere to him and agrees to be his girlfriend.
Hot love period of Xiao Xu and Li, no longer live in their respective dormitories, to the factory takeout rent a house to live, so lasted more than a year, living a life without shame. Whether friends or neighbors, everyone knows that they are couples, good feelings, let people very envious. But there is no impermeable strong in the world. Xiao Xu's wife in and Xiao Xu a video, unintentionally found a small Xu's table with a girl's skin care products, and then according to the usual abnormal behavior of Xiao Xu, intuition told her that Xiao Xu cheated.
Case study: Xiao Xu is not single and has registered her marriage with her wife and has a 3-year-old son. The person with whom he is cohabiting, Li, is not married. Belong to the spouse and no spouse cohabitation, and it is worth mentioning that they do not live together in the name of husband and wife. The question arises, Xiao Xu this cohabitation behavior illegal?
Of course it's illegal, it violates the civil code on the duty of fidelity between husband and wife. Some people have said that this is nonsense, it does not hurt, the law will have any punishment for Xiao Xu? Xiao Xu cohabitation behavior belongs to the legal spouse with another person cohabitation behavior, meet the legal conditions for divorce, Xiao Xu's wife can be used as a reason to file for divorce, but also can claim damages.
We should note that cohabitation is not the same thing as cheating and rooming, and cohabitation is more of a continuous state of mind. And cheating, room is occasional behavior. So often see, to each other and others to have an improper relationship and sue for divorce, but the results of the phenomenon can not leave.

3. A spouse cohabiting with another person and living together continuously and stably under the name of husband and wife
In 2018, 45-year-old Mr. Zhang from Guangzhou and his wife had a long-term relationship disagreement, often quarrels, Mr. Zhang even sometimes domestic violence. The wife could not stand it and took her children to live abroad in a state of separation, which was more than 3 years. Mr. Zhang believes that his current life and single divorced does not have any difference, lonely and boring. Once in the dating software to meet the same city of 40-year-old Ms. He.
The more Mr. Zhang and Ms. He talked, the more they got along, and clearly told Ms. He that he was divorced. After knowing each other for 2 months, Mr. Zhang invited Ms. He to come and live in his house, and started to live together. Mr. Zhang experienced the sweetness and tenderness of his first love in Ms. He, and to show his loyalty, he told his friends and neighbors that he was divorced and that Ms. He was his current wife.
Everyone gave him their blessing. Ms. He repeatedly urged Mr. Zhang to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register for marriage, but he refused for various reasons, for fear that the fact that he had not divorced his wife would be revealed, and so the 2 people lived for more than a year. Until a piece of paper bigamy legal documents sent to Ms. He and Mr. Zhang's hands, Mr. Zhang completely baffled.

Case study: Mr. Zhang is married and Ms. He is unmarried. Mr. Zhang and Ms. He have been stable for a long time and live together as husband and wife. Although they did not register their marriage, the basic conditions of de facto marriage have been met. According to article 258 of the Criminal Law, the crime of bigamy is defined as the act of having a spouse and marrying another person or marrying another person knowing that he or she has a spouse.
It is clear that Mr. Zhang has committed the crime of bigamy. In the case of cohabitation mentioned above, it is very likely that it will involve the commission of the crime of bigamy, which, it should be noted, is a criminal offence and entails criminal liability, with a penalty of up to two years' imprisonment or detention. In terms of civil liability, the other party is also entitled to claim damages.
Finally, whether it is young people, or middle-aged or old people cohabiting, as long as it does not infringe on the legal rights and interests of the other party, it does not belong to the scope of legal regulation, freedom of love, even if long-term cohabitation without marriage will not violate the law. But note that, if you do not get married, it does not belong to the legally recognized marriage relationship, in the end of the cohabitation relationship, there is no husband and wife common property. Most importantly, when cohabiting, you must clearly understand the real identity of the other party to avoid criminal liability.
It is not illegal for older persons to cohabit without marrying; existence is reasonable and there is no law against it.
This is, of course, based on the fact that neither party has a spouse, since theCohabitation between a man and a woman of full age in the presence of a spouse is illegal。
1. It is not illegal and reasonable, and reduces the burden on children.
According to data from the seventh national census.The proportion of our population aged 60 and over has reached 18.70%, with the proportion of those aged 65 and over reaching 13.50%.
And older people who are still in good health and are single or widowed want to find an older partner to spend the rest of their lives with. This is a matter of personal choice and a common phenomenon in our society, where ageing is becoming more and more serious.
As for the contemporary elderly in the city, in response to the eugenics policy, many of them have only one child, and they have an old man and a young man, and they have a big mortgage and car loan, so sometimes they have no time to take care of the elderly.
At this time, the widowed elderly would like to find another companion to take care of each other and also to reduce the burden of their children.
2. It can avoid the division of property and reduce family conflicts.
Elderly people to find a new partner, consider the aspects are not less than young people, on the one hand, we must consider the impact on children, after all, the society currently for this matter there is still a large controversy; on the other hand, to find a compatible, able to work together with each other to spend the rest of their lives is not easy.
And what the elderly have accumulated has actually been the finances for most of their lives, and at this point, if they don't get married but only cohabit, theyThere will be no question of dividing property between each other, and the possibility of children preventing them from finding another partner is avoided.
As a matter of fact, what the elderly really need is companionship, and money has very little effect on them, which has also caused many elderly people to be reluctant to get a license to get married but just live together.
3. Despite the many benefits, there are also legal risks
While there are many benefits to seniors living together and not getting married, there are also a number of legal risks.
Our law does not protect the cohabitation relationship, if you look at the wrong person, disputes during cohabitation, at this time you want to separate, if you can get together and break up the best, if you can not, you can only bite the teeth into the stomach, each for peace.
In short, existence is reasonable, since the elderly chose to cohabitate without marriage, indicating that their own emotional or physical needs, in the children can not accompany their own long-term, there is an old partner who can know the cold and warmth of each other to support each other to join hands to spend the rest of their lives, but also the joy of life.

The choice of cohabitation by older persons, although not legal, is not a crime, and is at best a moral issue. Marriage, on the other hand, means that the marriage relationship is established. Obviously, marriage is reasonable and legal, and only by getting married can the interests of the elderly be guaranteed to the greatest extent possible and they can feel secure. That is why it is clear that marriage and cohabitation are not the same.

I. Licensed elderly
An elderly person with a marriage certificate will be recognized by the law as a legally married couple. In this way there will be less controversy among the children over the issue of supporting the elderly. Each will be able to inherit from the other.
II. Older persons living together
Cohabitation of elderly people without legal formalities and without a marriage certificate is, of course, illegal and not protected by law. Elderly people who choose to cohabit for convenience and fear of trouble are nominally husband and wife. But legally they are not husband and wife. This will make the children dispute the issue of supporting the elderly. The respective estates of the elderly would not be able to inherit from each other.

III. Reasons for cohabitation among older persons
Firstly, it's a matter of convenience, secondly, it's a matter of hassle, and most importantly, cohabitation doesn't care about the form, it only values mutual companionship for the rest of your life.
So under what circumstances do older people choose to cohabit?
①It's too lonely to find a companion in my old age. Old companion, old companion, old only with each other. Widowed in old age is the great misfortune of the elderly, thought to spend the rest of their lives together, who thought that the other half of their own early to go, so that they are alone, lonely, unsupported, a moment certainly can not accept. At this time, the elderly will be reluctant, they want to find another partner to spend the rest of their lives, so that their old age is more complete and happy.

② those empty-nested elderly in their old age, often because their children for a long time is not by their side, and feel lonely and helpless, but do not want to die alone, so they want to use cohabitation to find a companion, usually with their own chat, something can be discussed with each other, hospitalized in the event of illness, there is a companion, which also avoids some of the old man, died a few days no one knows the embarrassment. At the same time there is an emergency, cohabiting partners can also notify their children know, to avoid delays in the disease.

(3) meet ungrateful children, but also to find a companion, children are ungrateful, no one to take care of the elderly in their old age, the elderly had to find a cohabiting companion to help each other to take care of each other, to avoid their own old age is too miserable!
It is evident that whether they are married or cohabiting. Older people want to find another partner to spend their old age. Marriage is legal and protected by law. Cohabitation is not illegal, but it is not protected. Cohabitation is not illegal, it is just a bit problematic in terms of morality.

As the elderly grow old, we should not be too hard on them to go through the legal formalities. Since they do not want to go through the trouble, we have to respect their wishes because in their eyes, there is no difference between marriage and cohabitation! As long as they are happy in their old age.
Elderly people choose not to get married because, firstly, they are afraid of the trouble of gossip, secondly, they are afraid that their children will not agree to it, thirdly, they are afraid that they will inherit their own property, and lastly, there is also the problem of supporting the elderly.

Conclusion: There are advantages and disadvantages of cohabitation for seniors. The advantage is that it is convenient and not troublesome, and the disadvantage is that it is not protected by law. It is easy to cause trouble and disputes. Thus affecting the relationship between the elderly and their children.
Therefore, the elderly if you choose to cohabit instead of marriage, or things born to be considered clearly, as for what the future consequences, I hope you also have to be a little bit of thought preparation, lest cohabitation after the regret, I'm afraid that everything will be irretrievable!

Thanks for the invitation.
Cohabitation by older persons without marriage is not legally permissible, and is therefore not legally protected in the event of a dispute. But the real society, this "illegal cohabitation" has been very common. First, in the law turn a blind eye, the people do not raise officials do not correct; second is to save the procedures on the formalities, do not have to register to the Civil Affairs Bureau, do not have to organize banquets, simple and save money; third is not subject to the children, free love and cohabitation; fourth is to say goodbye to the good over the good old age, over the bad each rolled up to go away, casually.
Cohabitation is not marriage, recently a new form: men and women are usually together in partnership, the woman is sick back to their own homes, children are responsible for the treatment, the man is sick, by the children to take care of the woman to go home, economic independence, do not interfere with each other.
In short, when one reaches old age, the society is lenient and it does not matter whether it is legal or not, as long as one complies with the law in other aspects and becomes a good law-abiding citizen, everything will be OK.
Is it legal for older people to live together and not get married? Why?
Elderly cohabitation is not legal, but it is reasonable. This form of undocumented cohabitation by older persons is known as living together in partnership.
Nowadays, it is not only the elderly who are living in partnership, but also the middle-aged and the young.
I once heard a case on a legal program where a couple did not leave their home after a divorce and remained living together as partners under one roof. A few years later, the man was killed in an unfortunate car accident and was awarded millions of dollars in compensation. The woman wanted the man's death benefits, so she consulted a lawyer as to whether she had any rights.
The lawyer clearly told the lady that although you live under the same roof, you are divorced and not legally married, so there is no share for you in the man's death benefit.
Whether they are old or young, living together, if there is a marriage certificate, even if there is no wedding ceremony, the property of the two people during the time they live together is common property, and in the event that one of them has an accident and there is compensation, the spouse will be compensated.
If they are living together without a marriage license, even if they have a lot of property, it can not be considered common property, divorce or one party has an accident with compensation, the other party can not be divided neither the inheritance nor the death benefit.
Married with a license is only in the law on the interests of each have certain protection, if said neither want to get each other's interests, just want to be together with someone to talk, someone to help together to do housework, do not get a license can also live together.
However, I would like to remind the cohabiting life of men and women, their own savings easily do not lend each other, if there is not enough evidence to prove that you lend money to each other, the other party once you leave you, do not recognize the account of borrowed money, your money is basically wasted.
Last night on the lawyers' program, I heard a woman cry to a lawyer that she had been living with a man for six months and that he had borrowed 130,000 yuan from her in two installments. Now the man has denied the debt and threatened her that she will not get the money back.
The lawyer told the woman that if you do not have sufficient evidence to prove that the other party borrowed your money, even if you sue in court, the case will not win. Judges rely on evidence to decide cases. You really can not find reasonable evidence, the 130,000 as you pay tuition, in the future with people to be cautious.
Elderly cohabitation is not legal, but as long as it's not destroying someone's family, it's a two-person affair and the law can't interfere.
Older people do not get married, but live in cohabitation, although not illegal, but, as opposed to marriage, there is a certain legal risk. This only refers to the elderly widowed or divorced with other people of the opposite sex cohabitation, living a life similar to marriage, rather than cohabitation outside of marriage (cohabitation outside of marriage is illegal), today's society why there will be a lot of older people do not get married, but living a cohabitation life? There are a number of reasons for this, which can be categorized as follows:
First of all, the elderly themselves do not have enough knowledge of marriage registration, licensed marriage, sudden saving fear of trouble, cohabitation life compared to licensed marriage, more flexible, together then get together, not then scattered, no more constraints, a similar idea of the elderly are not a few.
Secondly, it is constrained by external environmental factors, the surrounding people's questioning and children's resolute opposition, but the elderly and very stubborn, must insist on the end, in order to maintain a good relationship between parents and children, and finally have done a step back, the elderly both agree, living together, but do not fulfill the obligations and responsibilities of the law.
The third is the fear of getting married with a license, and after a hundred years, disputes arising from property will affect the children's lives, so they have taken the approach of just living together, in and out of the house, and neither side of the elderly will be burdened with any burdens.
In real life, the elderly do not get married and live together far more than these three cases, but in terms of the three cases mentioned above, there are advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it is more spiritual, there is no rigid constraints. The disadvantage is the lack of legal responsibilities and obligations, the lack of protection, but in the event of a dispute, it will not be adjusted to solve the problem, the serious will also bring endless consequences. Here is particularly noteworthy is that, if the elderly in the choice of cohabitation of the other half, should choose the conditions of all aspects of the same, there can not be too great a disparity, especially in the age can not be too much difference, the community does have sixty or seventy years old man looking for a woman of about forty years old, this kind of cohabitation with the color of each with the color of the plan, the man's idea is to choose the young to be able to take better care of their own, the idea of women are Do not have to pay more hard labor, can easily live the rest of life, but the natural laws of life is irresistible, although the man had given the woman a lot of promises, but ten years or eight years he left, due to the lack of protection of the law, the result is the bamboo blue hit the water a empty, want a point can not get, this lesson can be said to be profound. For this reason, do not take the elderly cohabitation life as two people living in a partner so simple, or should be on the pros and cons of the gains and losses have to be pre-judged and considered, lest leave some sequelae, may also be involved in the children.
(i)
Is it legal for seniors to cohabitate? Definitely not legal. But is it illegal for older people to live together? It is not illegal either. Elderly people together is mainly a companion life, there is a person to accompany, life is not lonely, sick people have a water, cooking a meal, life can take care of each other. More importantly, children are busy, can not take care of, usually not enough care for the elderly, the elderly themselves together can be in the spirit, the spirit of mutual concern, comfort.
Some people say that times have changed, that sexual attitudes are changing, and that older people are now cohabiting together because times have missed them. That's because they're not old enough to understand older people, and I'm afraid there are very few older people who are together for sex.
Secondly, the elderly marriage license that will inevitably involve the property factor, really because of personality differences to be separated, or one party died, it is more troublesome, if the cohabitation is much simpler.
Some elderly people who live together have agreed in advance on property and the usual expenses of both parties, etc., and live together quite happily, so young people should understand them and wish them well.
