Question: 1 / 445

How does the Marriage Equality Act define marriage?

A religious institution

A civil contract between two persons of the opposite sex

A civil contract between two persons who have each attained the age of eighteen years

The Marriage Equality Act defines marriage as a civil contract between two persons who have each attained the age of eighteen years. This differs from option A, as it does not specifically mention or restrict marriage to being a religious institution. Option B is incorrect as it limits marriage to only being between two persons of the opposite sex, while the Marriage Equality Act allows for marriage between any two persons regardless of gender. Option D is also incorrect as it is limited to the purposes of partnership for tax purposes, while the Marriage Equality Act encompasses the legal rights and responsibilities of marriage beyond just taxes.
