The Solemn Union was a contract created by the Notaries, which does not offer any kind of protection to the couples who entered into it, as it does not appear in any legal provision and does not generate concrete legal effects. In the words of the Constitutional Court, through this type of contract \"(i) a family is not formally constituted; (ii) the duties of fidelity and mutual support do not arise; (iii) the contracting parties do not modify their marital status; (iv) a marital partnership is not created; (v) the contracting parties do not enter into the respective inheritance order; (vi) it is impossible to enter into capitulations; (vii) there is no clarity as to the nature of the contract; (viii) the contracting parties do not enter into the respective inheritance order; (viii) it is impossible to enter into marital contracts; (viii) it is impossible to enter into marital contracts; (vii) there is no clarity about the grounds for termination of the relationship between the contracting parties; (viii) if they were to establish their residence in other countries, the respective authorities would not provide them with the legal protection that spouses have for the solemn union, since they do not recognise the effects that they have in our legal system; and (ix) in tax matters, certain benefits could not be invoked for having a spouse or permanent partner. In conclusion, no solemn unnamed or atypical contract, entered into between same-sex couples, could produce the same personal and patrimonial effects as a civil marriage\".
