These days, many people are afraid of getting married because of various reasons.

I was just having a thought, what if a couple live together and go through their day like a married couple without having to tie the knot?

Couple would worry less about divorce + breakup + split assets, where they can just breakup without bearing additional hassles.

Pros: Don't have a worry about divorce, lesser commitment and responsibilities to bear
Cons: ? (feel free to share in comment)

For the sake of the simplicity in this discussion, let's exclude the factor of religion, we can take atheist as a good example.
Comments pertaining to religion will be removed.

In a nutshell, would it be possible for a couple to live together, have children together and getting old together without signing paper?

You can. No law says you cannot (except for Muslims).

But can your partner accept it?

Having children or not itu lain cerita, you kahwin, sign paper because you want to give her 名分 ， if you think she not even worth a 名分 TS better fast2 let ppl go and she can probably found someone better than TS .

Definitely possible.

But no thanks, my wife sacrificed so much time and youth for me, least I could do is let her be officially entitled to every possession of mine when I’m no longer around.

If the idea of splitting up is even factored in the relationship, then might as well not start a relationship. Waste of time to both parties.

if something is worth doing, then it's worth doing properly.

The girl told my bff, in relationship is to make her life get better, why else want to be in relationship

Possible sure

However once you're older probably the reasons no longer makes sense

Possible if you are not after the loan. Lol
Anyway I have friend doing this, they will be married if accidentally have a baby. If not will remain cohabit without any legal relationship

Sign pre-nuptial agreement. No worries.

Why would u think girl sign something that’s disadvantaged to em?

Would u sign if you’re girl?

In a relationship, it is give n take.
Win win situation is very rare.

It is totally possible to not getting into marriage.

But you might want to rethink the benefit of the institution of marriage :

1. Legal Justification: Marriage provides automatic legal rights and protections that unmarried couples may not have. This includes inheritance, medical decision-making, and property ownership.

2. Social Norms: Unmarried couples might still face questions and judgments. You will constant face questions from people. If both of you do not mind, it will be fine. But think about your extended family, your children.

3. Commitment: Marriage, as a ceremony, holds the power to solidify commitment. It provides a structured framework, a safe haven within which couples can navigate the inevitable challenges of life.

4. Economic Benefits: Marriage often comes with financial advantages like tax relief, spousal benefits in insurance plans, and easier access to joint loans.

you can but marriage do provide convenience.

anyone gets into trouble pulis lockup or medical emergency, it's easier for partner to make decision since is legal spouse. imagine your partner have to frantically call your family to bail you out or make emergency medical decisions.

When there is nothing for u to lose, would you put in the same effort as when u do have things lose?
The answer is no.
When there is no commitment, humans tends to give less care.

depend u want have children or not. if not going to have children, then no issue..

I totally agree with you . And if she still want to get married , sure guess what . Prenup is for SURE on the table . If not , the door is there for you to use it

Have children?
Then who will be the legal guardian of the children ?

This sentence pelik...why even live together if from the start already worry about splitting ways.

Don't waste someone's youth.

Do it Malaysia is ok BUT if you do this in Aussie land ...

Lol

It's legally consider as husband and wife already

in texas, this is considered married.
