Legal status of same-sex couples within the framework of Turkish civil law; Başak Başoğlu.This book shows six different realities of same-sex families. They range from full recognition of same-sex marriage to full invisibility of gay and lesbian individuals and their families. The broad spectrum of experiences presented in this book share some commonalities: in all of them legal scholars and civil society are moving legal boundaries or thinking of spaces within rigid legal systems for same-sex families to function. In all of them there have been legal claims to recognize the existence of same-sex families. The difference between them lies in the response of courts. Regardless of the type of legal system, when courts have viewed claims of same-sex couples and their families as problems of individual rights, they have responded with a constitutional narrative protecting same-sex couples and their families. When courts respond to these claims with rigid concepts of what a family is and what marriage is as if legal concepts where unmodifiable, same-sex couples have remained outside the protection of the law. Until forty years ago marriage was the only union considered legitimate to form a family. Today more than 30 countries have granted rights to same sex couples, including several that have opened up marriage to couples of the same sex. Every day there is a new bill being discussed or a new claim being brought to courts seeking formal recognition of same sex couples. Not all countries are open to changing their legal structures to accommodate same-sex couples, but even those with no visible changes are witnessing new voices in their communities challenging the status quo and envisioning more flexible legal systems.Ius Gentium: Comparative Perspectives on Law and Justice,1534-6781 ;42Conflict of lawsConflict of lawsFamiliesFamilies—Social aspectsCulture—Study and teachingEthicsCivil lawPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002Familyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X27000Regional and Cultural Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Civil Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R1200XConflict of laws.Conflict of laws.Families.Families—Social aspects.Culture—Study and teaching.Ethics.Civil law.Private International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law .Family.Regional and Cultural Studies.Ethics.Civil Law.170306.85340340.2340.56340.9Sáez Macarenaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910483963303321Same Sex Couples - Comparative Insights on Marriage and Cohabitation2851855UNINA
