Ο εν λόγω δεσμός θα διαθέτει την νομική κατοχύρωση στις χώρες όπου επιτρέπεται ο γάμος, μεταξύ ατόμων ιδίου φύλου, κι επίσης -κανονικά- θα πρέπει να διαθέτει την αντιστοίχου level κατοχύρωση στις χώρες όπου υπάρχει σύμφωνο συμβίωσης.Όλα αυτά εφόσον επιλέξουν οι κυρίες να πάνε under the U.K. law, αν όχι τότε αυτό αποτελεί μία συμβολική τελετή με το όποιο βάρος επιλέγει το ζεύγος να δώσει σε αυτήν, όχι νομικά δεσμευτική.Πάντα αγαπημένες!Αυτά.
