Briefly describe the following:
a. common-law marriage
b. Marvin marriage
c. domestic partnership
d. civil union
e. covenant marriage
a. In a state that provides for such a marriage, the parties must be legally qualified to marry, must cohabit and create the public impression that a marriage exists, and must intend that it exist for a requisite period of time.
b. This is not a marriage at all, rather a partnership between man and woman where the parties by agreement promise to share property and wealth.
c. This is not a marriage, but in a state or city permitting it, non-married couples can qualify for marriage-like benefits previously reserved for heterosexual married couples.
d. It is recognized — only under Vermont law — that parties who are over 18, not a party to another civil union or a marriage, and of the same sex and therefore excluded from the marriage laws of Vermont, have the rights and duties of marriage.
e. This has been adopted in Arizona, Arkansas and Louisiana. In general, it requires couples to engage in premarital counseling, significantly limits the grounds for divorce, and requires a waiting period before divorce.
