[edit] Dutch opposite-sex couples' registered partnerships

In the Netherlands, neither marriage law nor registered-partnership law distinguishes between opposite-sex and same-sex couples. So I'm wondering, would a Dutch registered partnership entered into by an opposite-sex couple be recognised in the UK at all, and if so, how? Does anyone know?

(Copied from user talk page) René, last June you asked a question about the recognition of Dutch registered partnerships in the UK (it's here). The answer is no, Britain's civil partnership law recognises only same-sex unions. Whether or not an opposite-sex couple registered as partners in the Netherlands would be treated as a married couple under British law, I'm not sure. Hope that helps. -- Lincolnite (talk) 03:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
