We are husband and wife BUT We don't get married legally There are 2 big points in the definition of de-facto marriage.

So, I'll tell you about these 2 points in more detail in the next slide.

Do you know what difference of de-facto marriage from ①cohabitation and ②legal marriage ? First, I'll tell you about the difference between de-facto marriage and cohabitation.

de-facto marriage cohabitation ・own consciousness of husband and wife ・others' recognition of husband and wife ・own consciousness of husband and wife ・others' recognition of husband and wife living together as a family ! living together as a couple ! About de-facto marriage, both man and woman have consciousness that "we are husband and wife," and others also have recognition that they are husband and woman. On the other hand, about cohabitation, they have nothing like this consciousness and others, too. In brief, the people of "de-facto marriage people" live together as a family, but "cohabitation people" live together as a couple. Next, I'll talk about the difference between de-facto marriage and legal marriage.

de-facto marriage legal marriage residence certificate described same household family register and marriage register family register and marriage register About legal marriage, man and woman have to submit each family register and marriage register to city hall, and then, they are recognized that they get married legally. On the other hand, de-facto marriage doesn't have to submit these documents, but submit residence certificate, "jumin-hyo", described that they are same household. By this way, they are recognized that they got married in fact.
