Family Law Fact: Guide to Civil Partnerships

In recent years, both marriage and civil partnership have become available as options for both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. With these options available, it is more important than ever to understand the similarities and differences between the two.

What is a civil partnership?

What is a civil partnership?

All couples that wish to have their relationship legally recognised can opt for civil partnership over marriage. Civil partnership ensures the same legal rights and protections as marriage. In contemporary society, there are many couples that do not want to get married because they consider it to be dated, carrying disproportionate religious influence, and too many negative historical and patriarchal connotations, particularly for women (for example, traditions relating to the bride adopting the grooms last name, and to the father handing his daughter over to another man). Couples that opt for civil partnership over marriage appreciate its emphasis on the civil rather than religious aspects of union and on the idea of creating a commitment agreement between equal partners that offers legal protection and benefits to them both.

Civil partnership first became available in the UK through the Civil Partnership Act 2004 (passed on 21 December 2005), and it was initially only available to same-sex couples. For a period of time, therefore, same-sex couples could only avail of civil partnership, and opposite-sex couples could only avail of marriage.
