It
is far an undeniable fact that cohabitation is getting its way through the
Tanzania society very fast and the situation is so alarming.
With
an increase in population, economic hardship, and urbanization where there is
free movement of people from one place to another specifically Rural – Urban
migration, ethics erosion and non – adherent to religious teachings, just to
mention a few, man and woman have found themselves, out of sexual intimacies,
living together, but not to have legally married. This habit has brought us
into the concubine institution. Cohabitation is the act of living together, by
two people of opposite sex (heterosexual couples) as well as same sex partners
(homosexual) while involved in romantic or intimate relationship.
Cohabitation
is the word that originated from Latin “Co – habitare to inhabit,” from
frequentative of habare to have more or give. (According to Web dictionary).
According to the web definition; Cohabitation is the act of living together and
having a sexual relationship especially without being married.
(WorldNetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webn. 11.11.2011) Cohabitation is an emotional
and physical intimate relationship which includes a common living place and
which exists without legal or religious sanction. The act of living together, a
