摘要

About 40 years ago,same-sex marriage was still illegal around the world,but nowadays,partial countries have granted same-sex partners the right of marriage or established the civil union registration system,enabling same-sex partners to enjoy limited legal rights,such as succession and adoption.The legislative and judicial practice on recognition of foreign same-sex marriage and civil union in China is enunciated in the last section.The legal issues about characterization,application of law,public policy,and evasion of law were explored in detail in this section.Unlikely as it sounds that Chinese courts will recognize foreign same-sex marriage,it is believed that China should be more open to foreign same-sex relationships,especially when it is deemed as a preliminary question of major legal issues,such as adoption,succession,divorce,and parentage determination.
