| Jun 27 at 20:35 | comment | added | thelawnet | there's a source here: citizensadvice.org.uk/law-and-courts/discrimination/…. It seems a reasonable interpretation to me. | |

| Jun 26 at 18:45 | comment | added | thelawnet | Originally a civil partnership was introduced as a compromise: marriage is between a man and a woman, whereas a civil partnership was introduced to allow two people of the same sex. This was changed so that 1) people of the same sex were allowed to marry 2) people of the opposite sex wanted to have a c.p. rather than marriage, and felt the law was discrminatory and this is now possible 3) cps can be convert to marriages. Currently the ratio of s.s to o.s. c.p is 1:8, and for marriage 1:30. This difference in ratio is likely to be sufficient to qualify as indirect discrimination. | |
