During the past three decades, nations all over the world have been
debating whether to allow same-sex couples to marry, or at least to
grant these couples various rights associated with marriage. In
"Equality for Same-Sex Couples," Yuval Merin presents the first
comparative study of the legal regulation of same-sex partnerships
worldwide, as well as a unique survey of the status of same-sex
couples in Europe.
Merin begins by providing a historical overview of the
transformation of marriage from antiquity to the present. He then
identifies and critically compares four principal models for the
legal regulation and recognition of same-sex partnerships: civil
marriage, registered partnership, domestic partnership, and
cohabitation. Merin concludes that all of the models except civil
marriage discriminate against gays and lesbians just as the
"separate but equal" doctrine discriminated against African
Americans; thus, so-called alternatives to marriage, even if they
provide the same rights and benefits as marriage, are inherently
unequal and therefore unconstitutional.
