Paragraph 3 I1C1C2C3C4C5C6C7C8

(1)

This paragraph applies to existing England and Wales legislation which deals differently with—

(a)

a man and a woman living together as if married, and

(b)

If two men, or two women, are living together as if married, that legislation applies to them in the way that it would apply to them if they were living together as civil partners.
