Civil union in Luxembourg
- Civil union in Luxembourg
Civil unions in Luxembourg for same-sex and opposite-sex couples were legalised through legislation in 2004 ("loi relative aux effets légaux de certains partenariats"). Registered gay couples have many of the rights of married couples in relation to access to welfare benefits. They also have fiscal advantages, but not the same as married couples. They do not have the right to jointly adopt children.
Laws covering sexual activity
The total ban on homosexual conduct was lifted in 1792. Currently the minimum age of consent is 16.
