 This limitation remains today for such relationships regardless of the gender of the partner.The relationship status has evolved, however, as persons in such relationships formerly could not adopt their partners' children but can do so under the current Children and Parents Code ("Föräldrabalken"), as of September 2018.The cohabitation relationship status is also open to non-Swedes, which means that one does not have to be married to move to Sweden to live with one's partner.
