2. The gist of the parties' assertion argues that the plaintiff, who is a de facto marital spouse B, has the right to receive compensation for survivors and funeral expenses from the shipowner C pursuant to Article 29 subparagraph 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Seafarers' Act. Thus, the defendant, who concluded the insurance contract with C, is obligated to pay compensation for survivors and funeral expenses to the plaintiff.

In regard to this, the intervenor, if the remaining brothers and sisters of B renounced their respective shares so that they can independently exercise the right to claim insurance of this case, the plaintiff only lives together with B for a certain period of time, and there was no substance of marital life between them. Therefore, the plaintiff is de facto marital.
