Abstract
Abstract This paper introduces an international readership to an innovative policy response to cohabitation. Under a law passed in 2024 by the Canadian province of Quebec, unmarried cohabitants who become parents of the same child will automatically enter a ‘parental union.’ The legislature intended parental union to protect children without marrying adults by force. This new relationship form entails some of marriage’s effects, although it does not change the spouses’ civil status. The paper draws out the design choices underlying this intriguing middle ground between Quebec’s robust marriage regime and its laissez-faire approach to cohabitation. Although the parental union calls for limited sharing and contemplates a remedy for unjust enrichment between the spouses, it has no measures founded in solidarity or redressing need. It does not apply to cohabitants whose common children were born before the end of June 2025. Nor does this reform do anything for the many cohabitants who are not legal parents to the same child. Readers will judge the extent to which this reform merits imitation for the balance it strikes between protection of the vulnerable, compensation for contributions, and autonomy.

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 it
