Same-sex Marriage in The Netherlands - Unregistered Partnership

Unregistered Partnership

Unregistered partnerships or informal cohabitation is when same-sex or opposite sex couples live together as a couple but they choose to keep the legal status of their relationship unregistered or informal.

This legal status of unregistered partnership is respected by Dutch courts.

Famous quotes containing the word partnership:

    Are we bereft of citizenship because we are mothers, wives and daughters of a mighty people? Have women no country—no interests staked in public weal—no liabilities in common peril—no partnership in a nation’s guilt and shame?
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
