Les amoureux sur les bancs publics: Le traitement juridique du polyamour en droit québécois (Lovers on Public Benches: The Legal Treatment of Polyamory under Québec Law)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
French Abstract: L’auteur offre un tour d’horizon des manieres dont le droit quebecois desavantage les relations polyamoureuses. Dans la premiere partie, l’auteur definit le polyamour, le monoamour et certaines notions connexes. Dans les sections subsequentes, il avance une categorisation du traitement juridique du polyamour. Selon son analyse, quatre angles sont exploites pour orienter les relations conjugales vers le monoamour et hors du polyamour : (1) limiter a deux le nombre de parents par enfant (biparente vs pluriparente), (2) faciliter la prestation de soins de conjoint·e a conjoint·e, (3) proteger les conjoint·es contre des vulnerabilites economiques, et (4) prohiber certains comportements polyamoureux (criminalisation de la polygamie). Bien que l’analyse juridique se concentre sur le Quebec, cette categorisation pourra certainement etre adaptee pour examiner l’etat du droit dans le reste du Canada. Par cet article, l’auteur pose les bases d’une reflexion sur le traitement juridique du polyamour. Une telle reflexion devient de plus en plus pressante alors qu’un nombre grandissant d’enfants vivent dans des menages polyamoureux, que certains enfants naissent de ces unions et que plusieurs partenaires formalisent un des couples au travers du mariage, vulnerabilisant alors les autres relations. Peut-etre souhaitera-t-on conserver certaines mesures (comme la criminalisation de la polygamie) tout en en delaissant d’autres (comme la limite de deux parents par enfant). Cet article permet de mieux reperer comment le droit catalyse ou inhibe des types de relations conjugales. English Abstract: This article provides an overview of the ways in which Quebec law disadvantages polyamorous relationships. First, the author defines polyamory, monoamory, and related concepts. Next, he considers the judicial treatment of polyamorous people. According to his analysis, four approaches are used to orient people toward monogamous relationships and away from polyamorous relationships: (1) limiting to two the number of parents per child, (2) facilitating spousal care, (3) protecting spouses against economic vulnerability, and (4) prohibiting certain polyamorous arrangements (criminalization of polygamy). Even though this judicial analysis is focused on Quebec, this categorization may certainly be adapted to examine the state of the law in the rest of Canada. In this article, the author lays out a framework for reflection on the legal treatment of polyamourous people. Such a framework has become more and more pressing as a growing number of children live in polyamorous households, as children are born to polyamorous unions, and as more partners formalize one of the couples through marriage, increasing the vulnerability of the other relationships. Perhaps we would like to maintain certain measures (like the criminalization of polygamy) while abandonning others (like the limit of two parents per child). This article allows us to better identify how the law catalyzes or inhibits various kinds of conjugal relations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
