Notes to clarify the terms in the The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill
NOTES to clarify the terms in the The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill:
“‘Husband’ here will include a man or a woman in a same sex marriage, as well as a man married to a woman. In a similar way, ‘wife’ will include a woman married to another woman or a man married to a man…
“The term ‘husband’ will in future legislation include a man who is married to another man (but not a woman in a marriage with another woman); and ‘wife’ will include a woman who is married to another woman (but not a man married to another man) unless specific alternative provision is made“
Clear?
