Civil Union和婚姻之间的区别是什么？

作为Civil Union带来了昆士兰州的法律斗争使同性恋婚姻在澳大利亚的法律上已经炸开了锅。因此，Civil Union和婚姻之间的区别是什么？

首先，异性恋和同性恋夫妇可以进入Civil Union根据昆士兰公民联盟的草案，但婚姻是专为异性恋者根据英联邦的“婚姻法”。

之后的差异变得更加细致入微。

昆士兰Civil Union根据该法案将不会被承认在许多国家，而澳大利亚的婚姻几乎在每一个国家在世界上公认的。

进入Civil Union必须至少有一人住在昆士兰州。这意味着州际或国际夫妇是不允许进入国家Civil Union。

一位已经结婚，或在Civil Union的人是不允许进入Civil Union，但允许Civil Union的人再结婚了。

Civil Union将自动终止，如果一个人死亡或结婚。

一个或两个成员也可以申请区法院的命令，终止民事结合。他们必须证明他们已分开居住，除了为12个月期间，打破了伙伴关系。

首对分开的Civil Union伴侣将会测试这个昆士兰的规定如何执行，尤其是财产分割方面

家庭律师马德琳·奥康纳说，民间的合作伙伴将在情侣谁结婚，如果他们的合作打破了几乎相同的位置。

奥康纳女士说：“它已经谈到了，它已经在律师的大新闻，”。

财产和资产的划分是根据联邦家庭法，并没有针对Civil Union进行任何修改。

奥康纳女士说：“对于Civil Union关系破裂以后的资产分割时，法律还没有相应的规定”。

“这是可能的，他们将根据现行事实上规定处理。然而，新的法律将使民间的合作伙伴，以避免一些额外的障碍，一个人在事实上的关系，以满足之前，他们可以到法院起诉。

“例如，可以向民间的合作伙伴关系已经持续了不到2年，当事人没有任何儿童，使他们的位置更类似于一对夫妇的财产订单。”

她说，新的法律对情侣在同居关系的法律地位尚未改变。

法院着眼于证明同居关系的因素，包括一对夫妇一直在一起，无论是公共关系，如果夫妻有共同的财务和资产，如果他们有孩子，如果他们有性别的时间长度。

法院还着眼于是否已登记的关系，也就是说，它可能是一个民间的伙伴关系和事实上的关系。

Civil Union=同性伴侣仍避免采用在昆士兰州，即使他们被允许养父母和访问利他主义的代母，即使在新南威尔士州，ACT和西澳大利亚州允许同性收养。
Civil Union有限的社会理解和尊重。
Civil Union离奇的“公民联盟”的提案又名“你会做我有幸进入一个民间的伙伴关系法律认可的只有我在昆士兰州的”根本就没有相同的戒指，“你愿意嫁给我”。
Civil Union=第二类，但仍比没有好。



What's the difference between a civil union and a marriage?

As civil unions are brought in to Queensland law the fight to make gay marriage legal in Australia has raged on. So what is the difference between a civil union and a marriage?

Advertisement: Story continues below
First and foremost, heterosexual and homosexual couples can enter a civil union according to the Queensland Civil Union Bill, but marriage is exclusively for heterosexuals according to the Commonwealth Marriage Act.

After that the differences become more nuanced.

According to the bill a Queensland civil union will not be recognised in many countries, while an Australian marriage is recognised in almost every country in the world.

To enter a civil union at least one person must live in Queensland. This means interstate or international couples are not allowed to enter civil unions in the state.

A person who is already married or in a civil union is not allowed to enter a civil union but someone in a civil union is allowed to be married.

A civil union will automatically be terminated if one of the people dies or marries.

One or both members can also apply for a District Court order to terminate the civil union. They must prove they have lived separately and apart for a period of 12 months and the partnership has broken down.

The first Queensland civil union to break down will be the test case for how assets and property are split when a couple breaks up.

Family lawyer Madeline O'Connor said that civil partners will be in virtually the same position as couples who marry if their partnership breaks down.

"It has been talked about, it's been big news among the lawyers," said Ms O'Connor.

The division of property and assets comes under the Commonwealth Family Law Act which has not been changed to make provision for civil unions.

“There are no specific provisions as to what happens with assets when a civil partnership breaks down," said Ms O'Connor.

“It’s likely that they will be dealt with under the existing de facto provisions. However, the new laws will enable civil partners to avoid some of the extra hurdles a person in a de facto relationship has to satisfy before they can go to court.

“For example, a civil partner can seek property orders if the relationship has lasted less than 2 years and the parties don’t have any children, making their position more similar to a married couple.”

The legal position of a couple in a de facto relationship hasn’t been changed by the new laws, she said.

Factors a court looks at to prove a de facto relationship include the length of time a couple has been together, whether the relationship is public, if the couple have joint finances and assets, if they have children and if they have sex.

The court also looks at whether the relationship has been registered, meaning that it’s possible to be in both a civil partnership and a de facto relationship.

Civil union = same-sex couples are still prevented from adopting in Queensland, even though they are permitted to be foster parents and access altruistic surrogacy and even though same-sex adoption is permitted in New South Wales, ACT and Western Australia.
Civil union = limited societal understanding and respect.
Civil union = bizarre "civil union" proposals aka "would you do me the honour of entering into a civil partnership legally recognised only in Queensland with me" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "will you marry me".
Civil union = second class, but still better than nothing.

Civil Union 属于地方性概念，没有全球通用性
Civil Union 的双方作为一个家庭没有共同领养权
Civil Union 作为一个新生事物，相关法律还不完善
Civil Union 在优先级上低于婚姻

  如果同性爱和异性爱是一样的，为什么同性不可以结婚呢？
既然同志是二等公民，应该降低税率水平，少纳税。让可以享受婚姻的异性恋纳全税！

如果异性恋一定要把同性婚姻和异性婚姻加以区分，也可以，以后异性婚姻叫做什么Civil Union，同性婚姻独享婚姻这两个字好啦。

很多国家civil union同时对同性和异性伴侣开放，但是婚姻只对异性伴侣开放。目前全世界只有10个国家承认同性婚姻，但是承认同性civil union的国家要多很多。
澳洲在这方面非常落后，至今还没有在联邦一级认可civil union。
我觉得目前一些州在这方面已经进步了，但是联邦政府在这方面还比较落后。首先需要联邦政府承认同性伴侣关系，最终目标是认可同性婚姻，彻底消除婚姻关系方面同性伴侣和异性伴侣之间的不平等。
