The idea of cohabiting before or rather than getting married is a rather prolific one amongst young people despite mixed feelings from society about the matter.

The conventional vat-en-sit, or cohabiting with your partner, is now recognized by the law and partners can claim from the RAF (road accident fund) after the death of their partner. 

Despite the ruling of this case, cohabitation itself is still not recognized as a legal relationship in South African law, despite the fact that "cohabitation has become more common over the past few years and the number of cohabitants increases by almost 100 percent each year."

At the end of the day, we found that whether the rights of married couples are granted to unmarried couples or not, some people would still prefer not to cohabit while others find it a better option.
