Civil Union
Civil unions are legal in four jurisdictions in Argentina: the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (since 2002), the Province of Río Negro (2003), the city of Villa Carlos Paz (2007), and the city of Río Cuarto (2009). Civil unions provide some of the rights granted to married couples and can only be entered into by couples who have lived together for a given time, usually one or two years.
