A Rose by Any Other Name: Marriage and the Danish Registered Partnership Act

Authors

• Craig A. Sloane

Abstract

The article argues that the Danish Registered Partnership Act of 1989, while a significant step toward equality, falls short of true parity with marriage due to discriminatory exceptions such as the prohibition of adoption and church weddings. The author contends that these exclusions stem from societal prejudice and that same-sex unions should be fully incorporated into the legal framework of marriage to achieve genuine equality.
