R (Steinfeld & Keidan) v SoS for International Development [2018] UKSC 32

Ever since civil partnerships became available in the UK in late 2005 their status has been up in the air. Originally the only option available to same sex couples, they now have marriage as an alternative. In this case the Supreme Court considers whether civil partnerships should be available as an alternative to marriage for heterosexual couples. We also interrogate the religious arguments against civil partnerships as well as the state's involvement in this issue. Music from bensound.com
