Civil Unions
A new form of relationship was created when 'civil unions' were invented as a new legal category of relationship in 2004. The Civil Union Act made it pos-sible for couples of either same-sex or opposite-sex to formalise their relationship without the religious or his-torical boundaries of marriage, through a solemnisation ceremony called a civil union. The number of people choosing these unions has been small, showing there was little demand for them
