RESUMO

The perspective of concubinato (the state of a man and woman living together who did not marry nor in the church or registry office) as a random and instable relationship, is linked with Caio Prado Júnior and historians that based on Caio Prado Junior?s works to describe the life of the poor man that survived on the edge of the agro exporting economy, and due to that, were morally, degraded. A new generation of scholars, following this thought, showed that these human beings found in these random and temporary relationships the only way to organize themselves in a family. According to these researchers, the concubinato represented the social declassification in which these people lived. The aim of this thesis is to show that the concubinato was a stable relationship similar to marriage. The analysis of varied documentation ? parochial: parish church visits, marriage informal documentation; and judicial documentation: legitimating processes; registry offices documentation post-morten inventories, testaments ? made it closer in various aspects the concubinato from legitimate marriage. From analyzing the parochial documentation, the weight of the poverty and ecclesiastical bureaucracy, supposedly elements originating the concubinate were relative. The study of marriage?s informal documentation revealed how much the cultural values involving the matrimony were internalized by the partners together in a concubinato state. The analyses of the matrimonial licenses relativize the idea that the religious obstacles were easy to be overcome. We focused on the registry and judicial documentation between legitimate parents and children, regarding the heritage. The laws referring to the patrimonial succession together with the process originating from Tribunal of Paço constituted important elements in our work. Through names linking and from crossing sources, we built small biographies of couples that had kids in the concubinato. The cycle of life of these couples was analyzed in different moments. It was possible to verify testimonials, heritage divisions or the own course of his own partner
