A free union is a romantic union between two or more persons in the absence of regulation of law and without any civil or religious recognition. In French law, the union libre holds no obligation of sexual fidelity, nor does it grant reciprocal duties and rights."Template:Mainstream Polygamy: The Non-Marital Child Paradox In The West
The term has been used since the late 19th century to describe a relationship into which all parties enter, remain, and depart freely. The free union rejects marriage, viewing it as a form of slavery and human ownership, particularly for women. According to this concept, the free union of adults is a legitimate relationship that should be respected.
Much of the tradition of common law or natural law is a product of civic anarchism, seeking non-interference of either church or state in human relations.
Roman Catholic criticism
The expression "free union" includes situations such as concubinage, rejection of marriage as such, or inability to make long-term commitments.[1] According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, being in a "free union" is a grave offence against the dignity of marriage,[2] which it sees as a Sacrament.[3]
