Couple who won battle to open up civil unions register partnership
Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan ‘formalise relationship’ in London register office
More than five years have passed since Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan tried to form a civil partnership at their local register office, only to be told they could not because they were not of the same sex.
On Tuesday after spearheading a long campaign to change the law, they returned to Chelsea Town Hall and walked out as civil partners, joining thousands of others who made history by formally entering into the newly recognised unions on the eve of a new decade.
