| Description | In Guernsey, same sex couples could have a “union civile” (French for civil union). This gave same sex couples rights for inheritance, taxation, benefits, and next-of-kin issues. At the time, Guernsey was closer aligned with the established Church of England and the term “marriage” was viewed as a protected and sacred term in the Bible. |
