Civil Partnership Act 2004 (Amendment) (Sibling Couples) Bill [HL]
[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to
This bill would change the Civil Partnership Act 2004 to allow adult siblings (brothers and sisters) to form legal civil partnerships with each other. Currently, civil partnerships are only available to couples in romantic relationships; this bill would extend that option to siblings who want legal recognition of their relationship and shared life together.
Presented by Lord Lexden.
