Abstract

Abstract:Consensual unions in Latin America are becoming more common than marriages. We analyze the evolution of the laws recognizing consensual unions as well as those proscribing domestic violence, including patrimonial violence, for nineteen countries. While the formal property rights of married women and those in consensual unions are now similar, we show that the latter are in a more precarious position, experiencing higher incidences of intimate partner violence. In Colombia and Ecuador, the women in consensual unions also experience higher rates of economic and patrimonial violence. Drawing on qualitative research, we also explore the barriers to women in consensual unions exercising their property rights.

拉丁美洲的合意联盟、财产权和对妇女的家庭暴力

摘要：在拉丁美洲，协商一致的结合比婚姻更为普遍。我们分析了19个国家承认自愿结合以及禁止家庭暴力（包括继承暴力）的法律的演变。虽然已婚妇女和自愿结合妇女的正式财产权现在相似，但我们表明，后者的处境更加不稳定，亲密伴侣暴力事件发生率更高。在哥伦比亚和厄瓜多尔，自愿结合的妇女遭受经济暴力和继承暴力的比率也较高。根据定性研究，我们还探讨了妇女在自愿结合中行使财产权的障碍。

期刊介绍： Social Politics is the journal for incisive analyses of gender, politics and policy across the globe. It takes on the critical emerging issues of our age: globalization, transnationality and citizenship, migration, diversity and its intersections, the restructuring of capitalisms and states. We engage with feminist theoretical issues and with theories of welfare regimes, "varieties of capitalism," the ideational and cultural turns in social science, governmentality and postcolonialism. We are looking for articles that engage in this exciting mix of debates that will be of interest to our multidisciplinary and international audience.
