Rights of the Unmarried

On this week's episode of Law & Disorder, we're looking at the rights of unmarried people in the British legal system. What difference does it make for long-term, cohabiting couples whether they're married or not? Well, quite a lot it turns out. From common-law marriages on desert islands (not Bali, though) to Australia's bonza equiparation developments, this is a forensic look at how the legal system supports – or fails to support – those who don't enter the institution of marriage.Hosted by Nicholas Mostyn, Helena Kennedy and Charlie Falconer.This podcast is generously sponsored by Expatriate Law.Do send your own thoughts to us via [email protected]!Law and Disorder is a Podot podcast.Executive Producer and Editor: Nick Hilton.Associate Producer: Ewan Cameron.Music by Richard Strauss, arranged and performed by Anthony Willis & Brett Bailey.PR by Sally Jones.
