Talk:De facto union in Portugal

unregistered cohabitation
What is "unregistered cohabitation"?

RE: Merge
I don't think a merge with Same-sex marriage in Portugal would be appropriate, as civil unions are still recognized in Portugal for both same-sex and opposite-sex couples. With Portugal legalizing same-sex marriage, and civil unions are no longer the only option for legal recognition of same-sex couples, this page can focus more on clarifying the status of civil unions and how they compare to legal marriage. I will try and find some time in the near future to edit this article to reflect those changes. ◈ithinkhelikesit 03:58, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the above. In fact it is likelly there are many more opposite-sex couples using the law, than same-sex couples... just recall that 1/3 of the newborns in Portugal are born outside the marriage. 77.54.243.25 (talk) 09:47, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
