[edit] What is sections 3-4?!?
Does anyone know what the sections 3-4 of the Marriage Act are? I have searched for an English translation of this act, but have not found one. The reason I ask is simply, the Registered Partnership Act gives all the same benefits to same-sex couples as to heterosexual couples, *except* those in sections 3 and 4. BUT WHAT ARE THEY? -Anonymous Coward 15:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
- never mind. I've been stupid. Sections 3-4 are not of the Marriage act, but rather the registered partnership act. To quote chaChapter 3 Legal effects of registered partnership
Section 1. Registered partnership has the same legal effects as marriage, except as provided by sections 3-4.
Provisions of a statute or other legislation related to marriage and spouses shall be applied in a corresponding manner to registered partnerships and registered partners unless otherwise provided by the rules concerning exceptions contained in sections 3-4.
Section 2. Repealed
Section 3. Provisions applicable to a married spouse solely by reason of that spouse's sex, do not apply to registered partners.
Section 4. The provisions of the Ordinance concerning Certain International Legal Relationships relating to Marriage, Adoption and Guardianship (1931:429) do not apply to registered partnerships.
- As such, my question doesn't apply... -Anonymous Coward15:35, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Saunas
"In 1987 a law against sex in saunas was created to prohibit the spread of HIV, but it was repealed in 2004. Homosexuals are not banned from Military Service." How is this essential? --212.247.27.66 15:47, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
