Pareja de hecho

[ROBINDESBOIS]

In English?

[pjt33]

¿Contexto? O ¿qué quiere decir? ¿Es cuestión de de facto vs de jure?

[ROBINDESBOIS]

Pareja de hecho es cuando dos personas no quieren casarse, pero para tener todos los derechos hacen los papeles y pasan al estatus de pareja de hecho, no están casados pero es como si lo estuviesen en cuanto a derechos. Hay parejas que nunca arreglan los papeles y no tienen los derechos aunque vivan juntas.

[pjt33]

Legally registered partnership?

Es que no creo que el concepto esté bien arraigado en inglés. Existe el concepto de "common-law partnership" pero eso sería vivir juntos sin hacer nada de papeles.

pero con derechos de herencias y pensión o nada?

Una vez que common law partnership es establecida, pasan a tener todos los derechos legales como cualquier pareja casada.

How can we translate somos parejas de hecho, somebody pointed out that pareja de hecho was common law partnership, my question is how can we used this expression in context. Thanks in advance.

CAn we say:
We have a common law partnership status?
Or simply we are common law partners?

I guess you could. However, usually when I am asked if I am married, I say "yes", then if someone asks "by the church?" then I say "common law"

That's how it is used. You are married.

Hmmm. Just to throw a spanner in the works - common law marriage doesn't necessarily mean there are any legal papers.


oops - pjt33 already said that

Right, and "de hecho" it is the same situation.

That was the example on how it is used.

In the US you are married under the common law provision, for all practical legal issues.
