LOPERA BONILLA, Olga Cecilia. Non-singularity/monogamy in de facto marital union... more than an emotional and affective loss. Rev. Fac. Derecho Cienc. Polit. - Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2021, vol.51, n.135, pp.423-441.  Epub Jan 12, 2022. ISSN 0120-3886.  https://doi.org/10.18566/rfdcp.v51n135.a06.

Singularity/monogamy, understood as the fact of maintaining an erotic-affective relationship of singular coexistence, simultaneously excludes the multiplicity of relationships of the same nature.

Being embraced by religious and civil laws, singularity/monogamy for couples united by marriage or de facto marital union, turned into an obligation tied to various rights, among them, economic rights.

This article is based on the law and the jurisprudence of the high courts of Colombia to encourage a reflection on the legal effects that non-singularity/monogamy implicates on the permanent and stable couple who, in their choice of life project based on the free development of personality, decide to live together in a de facto marital union, the non-singularity/monogamy; aside from entailing an emotional and affective loss, entails a loss of personal and patrimonial rights granted by law to those who, without being married, are united by ties of affection, solidarity, and mutual aid.

Keywords : Singularity; monogamy; de facto marital union; loss of rights.
