Abstract:
The paper analyses legal consequences of marriage and cohabitation under the Slovak law. It focuses on the constitutional definition on marriage, possibility of same-sex couples to enter into marriage and on different status of married and unmarried couples in the field of private law (civil law, family law, succession law), as well as in public law. Second part of the paper analyses same-sex marriage, registered partnership and cohabitation from the perspective of the Slovak private international law. Paper gives answers to the questions whether a same-sex couple of foreigners would be allowed to get married before the Slovak authorities, whether the Slovak authorities would recognise same-sex marriage formed abroad and how Slovak private international law would deal with registered partnership and cohabitation.
Key Words:
