UNIONS AND CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN PERSONS OF THE SAME SEX. LEGAL EFFECTS IN EUROPEAN CONSENSUALISM

The evolution of society is unpredictable, largely influenced by the sociopolitical-economic factor. Thus, the development of a legislative framework for the new social relations has an imperative character, justified by the need to establish certain rights and obligations towards the beneficiaries and the rest of society. The purpose of this article is to highlight some existing situations in the legal reality, situations that do not benefit from a homogeneous legal regulation within the member states of the European Union, which derives in the form of social and legal conflicts. Through the ideas to be evoked, we will outline the normative differences between the states in the union space, regarding the fundamental right of each person to marry and found a family, viewed through the spectrum of diversity.
