“…7 Lo que el estudio de las relaciones de cuidado entre amigos, parientes o vecinos revela no es sólo el amplio rango de formaciones íntimas que no se anclan en relaciones diádicas, centradas en la atracción sexual y en la monogamia, sino también cómo las relaciones de cuidado cambian entre personas a lo largo de la vida; pues ciertas personas pueden cumplir un rol en ciertos contextos y no en otros. De ahí que para sectores críticos del derecho, desde el feminismo interseccional y la teoría queer, el objetivo ha estado puesto en abolir el matrimonio civil y situar las relaciones de cuidado y de interdependencia, como el bien público que el derecho de familia debiera resguardar (Fineman 1995;Diduck 2011;Boyd 2013). Desde esta perspectiva, las relaciones de cuidado son entendidas como relaciones variadas y cambiantes, necesarias de regular; porque, por una parte, todos tenemos vulnerabilidades y necesitamos a alguien que nos cuide en algún momento de nuestras vidas -y, por otra parte, porque estas vulnerabilidades están desigualmente distribuidas en las sociedades (Fineman 2009)-.…”

En abril del año 2015 se promulgó la ley que creó el acuerdo de unión civil en Chile. Este artículo investiga las principales ideas discutidas en el debate legislativo y del rol que cumplieron profesores de derecho de familia invitados como expertos al mismo. Proponemos que la participación de estos abogados fue marginal dentro y fuera del Congreso. Como consecuencia, la ley que creó el acuerdo de unión civil presentó serias falencias. En este artículo proponemos considerar las batallas intra-profesionales por el reconocimiento de un saber experto, como un factor clave en la formulación de políticas en materia de género y sexualidad. Y de paso, esperamos abrir un debate desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria que reimagine al derecho de familia desanclado de relaciones diádicas, centradas en la atracción sexual y orientadas a la procreación.

“…… What makes a relationship familial to me then is not necessarily a biological, legal, or conjugal connection, rather it is what people do in it, it is a relationship characterized by some degree of intimacy, interdependence, and care.' (Diduck, 2011: 289, emphasis added).…”

Adult Children and Elderly Parents in Strasbourg Proceedings: A Misconstrued Approach to ‘Family Life’

This article criticizes the exclusion of the relationship between parents and adult children from the purview of Article 8 ECHR in Strasbourg judgments, save for exceptional cases of dependency, narrowly defined (in practice reduced to disability). The author notes that this restrictive approach has been developed in the politically sensitive area of immigration policy and might stem from judicial pragmatism. She supports a more inclusive interpretation of 'family life', on two grounds. Firstly, it would align the Court's stance on adult relatives with its well-established purposive reading of the notion of 'family life'. In fact, family arrangements between adult relatives usually continue to exhibit the 'signposts' of family life identified in landmark decisions: genetic filiation, emotional bonds and effective ties; moreover, in cases without a cross-border element, the Court has recognised the applicability of Article 8 to close bonds with near relatives, such as grandparents. Secondly, bringing adult relatives within the scope of Article 8 would avoid the gap between the legal interpretation of 'family life' and the sociological understanding of the family as a group defined by a shared identity, caring, economic cooperation (including financial support, domestic labour, childcare and elderly care), sometimes co-residence. Whilst the Court may accommodate legitimate State interests when assessing the merits of a complaint, the failure to acknowledge the relationship between parents and adult children as 'family life' at the admissibility stage does not reflect social reality and prevents any judicial scrutiny over measures interfering with the normal development of such relationships.

“…Moreover, the field of Islamic family law remains largely empirically descriptive and seems to be largely disconnected from theoretical insights and developments such as in sociology of law, critical legal studies, and feminist legal studies. We suggest that the field could profit from absorbing insights from the study of family law in other parts of the world, such as: a critical analysis of the role that perceptions of motherhood and fatherhood play in family law (Boor 1999;Boyd 2004;Collier 2009Collier , 2010; Collier of equality and rights discourses in family law (Diduck 2011); and studies on children's rights (VandenHole et al 2015).…”
