Marriage or civil union?[edit]

The article reports: "On 20 February 2019, the Executive Yuan published a draft bill, entitled The Enforcement Act of Judicial Yuan Interpretation No. 748 ,which allows two persons of the same sex to create a permanent union of intimate and exclusive nature for the committed purpose of managing a life together to realise the equal protection of the freedom of marriage. It covers topics such as inheritance rights, medical rights, and adoption of the biological children of their partner. The draft bill will also set penalties for adultery and bigamy, similar to opposite-sex marriages. Due to the Referendum, the bill does not amend the Civil Code, but rather creates a separate law.[110] The bill was approved by the Executive Yuan on 21 February 2019 and then sent to the Legislative Yuan for passage, before taking effect by 24 May."

I am unsure that this is gender-neutral marriage. This sounds more like an Italian civil union or a formerly German life partnership giving all the rights of marriage but the name. Shouldn't marriage be in the marriage part of the civil code to say that we are talking about same-sex marriage? Any other opinions? Thanks Finedelledanze (talk) 15:04, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Media seem to be making a big thing of the fact that parliamentarians chose the option which allows for marriage, over the ones that didn't.. [1] - "Lawmakers on Friday comfortably passed part of a bill that would allow gay couples to enter into “exclusive permanent unions” and apply for marriage registration with government agencies."

The law dodges the word "marriage" as much as possible. However the law lets same-sex couples conduct "marriage registration" just like hetro marriage, and gives same-sex couples the exact same rights and responsibilities given to hetero marriage (except adoption). --Yel D'ohan (talk) 20:01, 20 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Legal?[edit]

Hi @Ecpiandy:. Do you have any WP:RS that says the law has already gone into effect? Everything I've read in English and Chinese sources say that it will only go into effect on 24 May. I know the "first" same sex wedding was held on 18 May, but according to the sources I've read (e.g. [2][3]), it was only ceremonial and 24 May is still the date when it will become legal.
