The twenty-first century has witnessed the rise of a new constitutional jurisprudence of marriage which extends the institution of marriage to include same-sex couples in the name of equality, freedom, and dignity, and an accompanying trend of constitutionalizing marital supremacy. Progressive critics have voiced against the constitutional treatment of marriage as the ideal family form, proposing various approaches to promote equality for diverse families. The inequality of single women without children, however, has not yet received the attention that it deserves in the jurisprudence of non-marriage, despite the globally growing phenomenon of women opting out of marriage and other formal unions and living a legally single life. It is argued that the move beyond marriage equality must include the pursuit of single equality, that is, equal citizenship unmediated by marital, relational, family, or parental status. It is suggested that a feminist agenda of single equality is needed even more, and that public laws’ active role is required to facilitate single equality.

婚龄单身男女平等

二十一世纪见证了新的婚姻宪法法理学的兴起，将婚姻制度扩展到以平等、自由和尊严为名的同性伴侣，以及随之而来的婚姻至上宪法化趋势。进步批评者反对宪法将婚姻视为理想的家庭形式，提出了各种方法来促进不同家庭的平等。然而，尽管全球越来越多的女性选择退出婚姻和其他正式结合并过上合法的单身生活，但没有孩子的单身女性的不平等尚未在未婚判例中得到应有的重视。有人认为，超越婚姻平等必须包括追求单身平等，即：不受婚姻、亲属、家庭或父母身份影响的平等公民身份。建议更需要一个单一平等的女权主义议程，需要公法的积极作用来促进单一平等。
