While the common law may result in justice between heterosexual intimate partners in particular claims for a beneficial interest in the family home, it does so on its own terms—terms drawn up according to contractarian principles reflecting male sex-right, that subsist even as the world and the institution of marriage (and marriage-like relationships) have changed. This paper uses examples from the case law across four common law jurisdictions to expose the terms on which the contractarian nature of intimate partner trusts permits claims for a distribution of intimate partners’ property, and how it excludes. In particular, it identifies the pervasiveness of the sexual contract in subsuming women’s expression of individualism to those of her intimate partner, and the implications of this for the derivation of a property interest in the family home.

佩特曼性契约在财产利益中的作用

虽然普通法可能会导致异性恋亲密伙伴之间的正义，特别是对家庭住宅的受益权益的要求，但它是按照自己的条件这样做的——根据反映男性性权利的契约原则制定的条款，即使在世界和婚姻制度（以及类似婚姻的关系）发生了变化。本文使用来自四个普通法司法管辖区的判例法的例子来揭示亲密伙伴信托的契约性质允许对亲密伙伴财产的分配提出索赔的条款，以及它如何排除。尤其是，它确定了性契约在将女性个人主义表达纳入其亲密伴侣的表达中的普遍性，以及这对推导出家庭财产权益的影响。
