AB -  The present article examines a recent proposal defended by Elizabeth Brake of a new and  innovative form of marriage, that she labels «minimal marriage». According to Brake, the  current marital laws are discriminatory as they are grounded on «heteronormativity», namely  the idea that the dyadic heterosexual marriages are the family norm and the only model that  is worth of social recognition, and «amatonormativity», the idea that the only dyadic intimate  relationships involving romantic love are the nucleus of the family. In the first part of the  article, I show that dyadic monogamous relationships are essentially a form of adult caring  relationship. In the second part, I analyse how the reform of the marriage laws (in minimal  terms proposed by Brake) allow other forms of caring relationship to receive social and  institutional recognition.
