Relationship Recognition

Relationship Recognition is a legal process through which a government formally acknowledges the connection between individuals, such as marriage, civil unions, or domestic partnerships. It ensures that these relationships are recognized by law, granting partners specific rights and responsibilities, like inheritance, healthcare decisions, and tax benefits. This process provides legal clarity and protections for couples, whether they are married or in other recognized partnerships, and can vary depending on the jurisdiction. Essentially, it is a formal acknowledgment that validates the relationship in a legal context.
