Don't Cry for Me Argentina
Against the wishes of the Catholic church, Argentina has approved nationwide pension rights for gay couples meaning they can collect the benefits of a dead partner. The surviving partner must prove that they lived as a couple for at least five years in order to be eligible to receive such benefits.
Not only did you give us Gabby Sabatini for which as a lesbian I will be eternally grateful, you are now showing the world how to treat its diverse citizens.
Muchas gracias.

how does one prove they lived together as a couple?

I assume the same way common law couples have to prove it on occasion in the USA. Lease documents, mortgage papers, shared bills etc, signed witness affidavits.

Addressing Queerunity's questions ... with maybe phone bills, checking account would be good if you're money is mixed, other utilities, rent agreement, or house papers. There is probably a list of stuff, right?

I'm sure there's a list. I think anyone that has set up house with another for more than five years, proving it would be rather easy.
