seven-years'-absence rule

Read a random definition: in rerum natura

A quick definition of seven-years'-absence rule:

The seven-years'-absence rule is a legal principle that says if someone has been missing for at least seven years without any explanation, they are presumed to be dead. This means that their family can start the process of settling their estate and moving on with their lives. It's kind of like a rule that helps people deal with the uncertainty of not knowing what happened to a loved one who has been missing for a long time.

A more thorough explanation:

The seven-years'-absence rule is a legal principle that states that if a person has been missing for at least seven years without any explanation, they are presumed to be dead. This rule is also known as the Enoch Arden Law.

John went missing in 2014 and was never found. His family searched for him for years, but there was no trace of him. In 2021, after seven years of his disappearance, John's family can legally presume him dead under the seven-years'-absence rule.

Another example is if a person goes missing during a natural disaster, and there is no information about their whereabouts for seven years, they can be presumed dead under this rule.

These examples illustrate how the seven-years'-absence rule works. It provides a legal framework for families to deal with the uncertainty of a missing loved one and allows them to move on with their lives after a certain period of time.
