Some information about Civil Partnerships
In the United Kingdom, the civil partnership was introduced in 2005. The law gives civil partners the same benefits and associated legal rights of married partners; ranging from tax exemptions and joint property rights, to next-of-kin status and shared parenting responsibilities. The one notable exception is the use of courtesy titles by the partner of a male peer or knight. In the first year, 16,100 civil partnership ceremonies took place.
In the United Kingdom, the Gender Recognition Act 2004 allows a person who has lived in their chosen gender for at least two years to receive a gender recognition certificate officially recognizing their new gender. Because, in the UK, a marriage is for mixed-sex couples and a civil partnership is for same-sex couples, a person must dissolve his/her marriage or civil partnership before obtaining a gender recognition certificate. Such persons are then free to enter or re-enter a civil partnership or marriage in accordance with their newly recognized gender identity.
