/ˌfriːˈlʌvɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A social or political belief system that rejects traditional marriage laws and promotes the freedom to have romantic relationships without legal restrictions.

Etymology

From 'free love' + '-ism' (Greek -ismos, indicating a doctrine or system). Emerged as a formal ideology during the late 1800s free love movement.

Kelly Says

Freelovism wasn't just about romance—19th-century free lovers also fought for women's property rights, education, and divorce laws, making it a radical political movement that helped shape modern relationships.
