Supreme Court hears Quebec common-law marriage case

[Baloo]

FYI

Common-law couples have varying rights depending on where they live in Canada.

In some provinces, they have alimony and property rights.

But despite the fact that one-third of all Quebec couples are unmarried, it remains the only province that does not recognize common-law unions.
