Wedding in Portugal

Getting married in Portugal

To get married in Portugal, you’ll need to be aged 18 or over (or 16 if written consent is offered by both parents). Same-sex weddings and gay marriage are permitted with the same restrictions.

While civil partnerships don’t exist in the same way in Portugal as in some other countries, there is such thing as a Civil Union (União de Facto) between a couple. This union basically allows some of the rights of marriage, including your partner, becoming your next of kin, having equal property and inheritance rights, and any Portuguese tax benefits.

Gay marriage in Portugal

Same-sex marriages are allowed in Portugal since 2010. They grant equal rights to the couple regarding property, taxes and inheritance. Same-sex marriages between couples in Portugal should be recognised in other countries.
