Could be law by summer
Heterosexual couples could soon be able to enter into civil partnerships.
It's after an amendment tabled by Ramsey MHK Leonard Singer was supported as the Marriage (Same Sex couples) Bill went through its clauses stage in the Keys on Tuesday.
He's hopeful it will become law before the dissolution of Parliament in July.
Mr Singer says the change would be welcomed by the public:
'All sorts of possibilities' as future of MDC to be reviewed
Report to consider future function of arms-length company as construction costs soar
International cybercrime investigation to feature at financial crime conference
US Treasury to visit Island to discuss transnational crime empire
New food standards rating scheme launched
Inspections to be carried out by UK inspectors
Fundraisers embark on walk along 'The Road That Brought Us Here'
'Our destination may be Murrayfield but our purpose reaches far beyond it'
