Abstract

In recent years, Spain has achieved an essential evolution
in Family Law. In this article, we carry out a study of the
unmarried couple present-day judicial framework from
the point of view of the statutes, the case law and the
literature. On the one hand, we analyse the regulation
of the autonomous regions in Spain, to emphasize their
resemblances and their differences; on the other hand,
we made a critical regard to the State legislative passivity
and, ?nally, we described the main jurisprudential lines on
this subject and we propose the recognition to unmarried
couples of certain effects that are legally recognised to
married couples by means of analogy.
