Civil partnership in the United Kingdom
Civile partnerskaber i Det Forenede Kongerige, der er indgået i henhold til Civil Partnership Act 2004, giver par af samme køn mulighed for at opnå stort set de samme rettigheder og forpligtelser som et borgerligt ægteskab. Civile partnere har ret til de samme ejendomsrettigheder som gifte par af forskelligt køn, samme fritagelse som gifte par for arveafgift, social sikring og pensionsydelser og også mulighed for at få forældremyndighed for en partners børn samt ansvar for rimelig forsørgelse af ens partner og deres børn, lejlighedsrettigheder, fuld anerkendelse af livsforsikring, rettigheder til nærmeste pårørende på hospitaler og andet. Der er en formel proces for opløsning af partnerskaber, der ligner skilsmisse.

Civil partnership in the United Kingdom
Civil partnerships in the United Kingdom, granted under the Civil Partnership Act 2004, allow same-sex couples to obtain essentially the same rights and responsibilities as civil marriage. Civil partners are entitled to the same property rights as married opposite-sex couples, the same exemption as married couples on inheritance tax, social security and pension benefits, and also the ability to get parental responsibility for a partner's children, as well as responsibility for reasonable maintenance of one's partner and their children, tenancy rights, full life insurance recognition, next of kin rights in hospitals, and others. There is a formal process for dissolving partnerships akin to divorce.
