Episode Details

A major legal shift is on the horizon for millions of cohabiting couples in the UK, as the government proposes a “three-year rule” to grant legal rights to non-married partners—unless they have children together. With over 3.5 million couples living together without marriage (a number that’s doubled in 30 years), this move aims to close a glaring gap in legal protection, ensuring people aren’t left with nothing if a relationship ends suddenly. The consultation ends soon, but this issue is likely to persist regardless of political changes, reflecting a growing recognition that modern relationships deserve legal recognition as real, committed partnerships.
