Recognition of same-sex unions in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic offers registered partnerships (Czech: registrované partnerství, Czech pronunciation: [ˈrɛɡɪstrovanɛː ˈpartnɛrstviː]) for same-sex couples. Registered partnerships grant several of the rights of marriage, including inheritance, right to declare a same-sex partner as next of kin, hospital visitation rights, jail and prison visitation rights, spousal privilege, and alimony rights, but do not allow joint adoption, widow's pension, or joint property rights. The registered partnership law was passed in March 2006 and went into effect on 1 July 2006. The country also grants unregistered cohabitation status to "persons living in a common household" that gives couples inheritance and succession rights in housing.
