Civil marriage is very common among modern families. Starting to live together, a man and a woman do not enter into a legal marriage, preferring to skip the marriage procedure. The reasons for this can be different.
Woman's point of view
By agreeing to a relationship outside of an official marriage, a woman feels herself needed by a man, regardless of the circumstances. She knows that in their life together there is no compulsion that sometimes accompanies a wedding. For her, this is a positive moment.
If a woman is unsure of her man, a civil union is a way to test their relationship. So they have time to decide how partners are suitable for each other. Subsequently, such a union can develop into an official marriage.
Despite the fact that life together begins by mutual consent, over time, a woman begins to feel dissatisfaction with her position. She cannot be considered an official wife, and this negatively affects the relationship with the roommate.
Living in a civil marriage, a woman has no guarantees regarding housing. In addition, her any rights to property during separation are also not protected in any way.
A man can provide his girlfriend with property by issuing official title deeds. Then, in the event of parting, she will not be left empty-handed.
If a couple has a child in a civil marriage, then there are problems with determining his paternity and surname. The father has to formalize the adoption of his own child. Subsequently, this can cause psychological trauma to the child. In addition, such moments are unpleasant for a woman.
Having given birth to a child in a civil marriage, the father may not establish his paternity. In this case, the woman can receive the allowance as a single mother.
A man's point of view
For a man, civil marriage is the most convenient. Thus, he retains imaginary freedom in his actions. He remains confident that he can leave such a family at any time if he wants. In this he sees a definite plus.
The man is the main earner of money in the family. Therefore, the waste of financial resources on preparations for the wedding is considered superfluous and unjustified by them. This is one of the main reasons for a man's preference for civil marriage. The organization of such a family is cheaper than the official one.
Natural male laziness is also one of the reasons for civil relationships. So he does not have to fuss about the numerous organizational moments of preparation for the wedding, which take a lot of time. In this, a man sees the disadvantages of an official family.
