Clause 1, Clause 2, Article 3 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 provides:

1. Marriage means the relation between husband and wife after they get married.

2. Family means a group of persons closely bound together by marriage, blood ties or raising relations, thus giving rise to obligations and rights among them as prescribed in this Law.

Based on current regulations in Vietnam, in your case, it cannot be determined as a marriage relationship because you have not married each other. Therefore, the case where a lover frequently mentions his ex-lover is not considered a violation of the marriage and family regime.

In the case where a man and a woman cohabit and then get married, when is the marriage relation established in Vietnam?

Article 14 of the Law on Marriage and Family 2014 stipulates settlement of consequences of men and women cohabiting as husband and wife without marriage registration as follows:

1. A man and woman eligible for getting married under this Law who cohabit as husband and wife without registering their marriage have no rights and obligations between husband and wife. Rights and obligations toward their children, property, obligations and contracts between the partners must comply with Articles 15 and 16 of this Law.

2. For a man and woman who cohabit as husband and wife under Clause 1 of this Article and later register their marriage in accordance with law, their marriage relation shall be established from the time of marriage registration.

Therefore, in the case where a man and a woman cohabit and then get married, the marriage relation is established from the time of marriage registration in Vietnam.
