Summary/Abstract: The subject of interest of the author of this paper is the legal frame for the extramarital unions in the legal systems of the EU countries. In the beginning, he gives a short description of the extramarital union in the past, directing his main focus on the extramarital unions in the contemporary western societies. According to the author, in the European legal systems there are two basic concepts regarding the legal frame for the extramarital unions; there are countries with complete system of norms regulating the extramarital unions, and countries in which such system is not existant, but rather the separate aspects of the extramarital life is a subject of regulation of different legal documents, such as the laws on social protection, laws on taxation, etc. In that sense, the author stresses that, despite the common agreement that exists in the contemporary western societies of the need for the extramarital unions incorporation in the legal system, such common agreement has not been achieved yet with respect to the methodology for applying the legal frame for such kind of unions.
