Note: The grounds for promulgation of this Act are as follows: Family institutions are important units in the development of the society and the promotion of the quality of people’s lives. But the formation of families under the Civil and Commercial Code is only limited to men and women in relationship. This is not in line with the conditions of the society at present, in which persons with sexual diversity live together as families, through which they support and maintain each other and have other relations in a manner not different from married men and women. With a view to strengthening families formed by any persons without regard to their sexes, it is appropriate to amend certain provisions of the Civil and Commercial Code to support the enabling of persons with sexual diversity to enter into engagements and marriages, which would furnish them with family rights, duties, and status on a par with married men and women, save where other laws make specific provisions regarding family or succession. It is therefore necessary to enact this Act.
