In Taiwan, cohabitation is half accepted and half taboo. Supporters say "do it, but don't talk about it." Opponents frown upon it, but don't denounce it. In keeping with this ambiguous status, cohabitation has little protection in the law, and even academics have hardly studied it.
而在台灣，同居卻仍是一個贊同者「可做而不可張揚」、反對者「皺眉但不斥責」的半開放禁忌，不但迄今仍少有法律上的保障，連學界的調查也如鳳毛麟角。
