Abstract: Key matters covered by the Act are: the introduction of same sex marriage, so that same sex couples can marry each other; putting belief celebrants on the same footing as religious celebrants; the arrangements for authorising celebrants to solemnise opposite sex and same sex marriage; civil partnerships changing to marriage; the authorisation of Church of Scotland deacons to solemnise opposite sex marriage; allowing civil marriage ceremonies to take place anywhere, other than religious premises, agreed between the couple and the registrar; allowing the religious and belief registration of civil partnerships; allowing transgender persons to stay married when obtaining the full gender recognition certificate, which provides legal recognition in the acquired gender.
