Objects and Reasons

The objects and reasons of this Bill are the introduction of the right of persons, whether of the same or of opposite sexes, to contract a civil union. The underlying principle of this Act is to equate civil unions with marriages, in terms of procedure and substance in a manner that guarantees equal rights to parties in civil union as are granted to spouses in a marriage.

 

The equation approach should guarantee enjoyment of equal rights and obligations across all areas of law and social life.
