“…The term does not include non-sexual relationships (for example, a brother and sister living together), relationships where the couple have only occasional sexual intercourse with no intention of establishing a family unit or relationships where more than two partners live together (Crowe and Ridley, 2008). According to Nevondwe and Rapatsa (2012) "Although the requirements set for cohabitation differ in different legal systems and the different statutes within the legal systems, three elements seem essential for the creation of a factual cohabitative relationship, namely a sexual relationship between the couple, a factual cohabitative relationship and a measure of durability and stability of the relationship. A further element, namely a sense of responsibility for each other, is emphasized in some instances to prove the existence of a cohabitative relationship."…”
