During the Tsai Ing-wen administration

edit

Marriage equality (including same-sex marriage) bill

edit

The Friendship Alliance believes that Article 7 of the Constitution of the Republic of China stipulates that all people are equal under the law regardless of gender, religion, race, class, or party affiliation. However, the civil law stipulates that marriage should be decided by the male and female parties themselves, which lacks protection for different sexual orientations, genders. recognized marital rights, therefore the law should be revised.

In the draft of Marriage Equality (including same-sex marriage), the current description of marriage and family in the Civil Code has been revised from male and female to two persons, for example, changing husband and wife to spouse, so that the law can recognize in addition to Protects the marriage relationship between men and women, also extends to homosexuals and transgender people marriages between genders, gender changes, etc., and the age limit for making a marriage contract will be changed from men and women to 17 years old, and the age limit for marriage will also be changed from men and women to 18 years old, in addition In addition, there are no changes in this bill to the other civil law rights and obligations of the parties to a marriage.

Draft companionship system

edit

The Partnership Alliance believes that marriage is not the only ideal form of forming a family and establishing an intimate relationship. In order to allow people who do not want to get married to have a legal choice to start a family, we have created a partnership system that is in line with Taiwan's national conditions. As long as two people are over twenty years old and have not been subject to Anyone with guardianship or auxiliary declaration, regardless of gender, can sign a partnership contract and establish a family.

This bill is based on the civil unions that were amended and passed in France in 1999 (before same-sex marriage was legalized in France in 2013, the French government protected the rights of same-sex couples). It is a Civil law (common law) by adults of both parties to live together, and excludes consanguinity, and Agree when The parties can only choose between the marriage system and the partnership system. The basic spirit is equal negotiation, care and mutual assistance. In principle, the legal status of both parties who form a partnership is roughly the same as that of the spouses in marriage. The difference from the marriage system lies in the way of starting a family that does not require human sexual activity relations as a necessary condition. A way to start a family where relationships are a necessary condition. If there is no agreement between the two parties in the partnership, they will adopt a separate property system and can negotiate inheritance rights. There is no obligation of sexual loyalty and no crime of adultery. They can apply for civil compensation and can jointly adopt children. The contract can be terminated unilaterally, and both parties still need to negotiate after the termination. Rights and obligations such as legal guardian and visitation.

Dependent system draft

edit

A family member is a relationship between two or more people with the purpose of living together permanently. The current definition of family members in the Civil Law of the Republic of China refers to non-kinship who live together for the purpose of permanently living together. In practice, it only applies to concubines and Legitimacy (family law) of wedlock during the Japanese colonial period [24]. The draft family system is modified to a registration system, allowing substantial family members to register. People with spouses need to register jointly with their spouses. They have no inheritance rights, but can make arrangements according to wills. If there are no in-Affinity (law), no joint adoption or the right to adopt the other party's children, they can be unilaterally terminated. Agreement. This draft breaks the past concept of family, which is not limited to blood relations or in-laws, but focuses on current life care, emotional connection, and sharing of life, such as families of unrelated friends, patient groups, spiritual groups, etc. Anyone can start a family and obtain legal recognition after registering with the household registration authority.
