The bill (Reg. No. 8212) clearly defines the concept of marital partners for those entitled to use the adjuvant reproductive technologies. Thus, marital partners are a male and a female.
Applicable laws do not allow registration of same-sex marriage in Ukraine. Under Clause 21 of the Family Code of Ukraine, marriage is a family union of a female and a male registered by the civil registration office. However, the law does not define the concept of marital partners.
Adoption of the bill will prohibit foreign citizens staying in a same-sex marriage to use the services of surrogate mothers - citizens of Ukraine.
