That's easy: the unmarried couple. The unmarried couple has none of the rights a maried couple does. Such things as counting as next of kin if something horrible happens, rights to keep your children, to be covered by insurance, etc etc. These rights help guarantee that certian unstabling events won't happen. It prevents homophobic friends and family from interfering with life decisions a couple has decided to make. To me, this adds to the stability of a situation.
