hetero-sexual civil partnership

Following the recent court case can anyone tell me if this means the couple have the same rights in law as married couples?

    Not really a yes/no answer. This should give you the info you need:

    Only if you formally sign the paperwork in premises licenced for civil partnerships in the presence of a registrar and two witnesses. You don’t get the rights if you’re just living together! That is not a civil partnership (my civil partnership ceremony is 6 weeks tomorrow) Once you have signed the paperwork then yes the rights are pretty much similar.
