Are there any restrictions on the number of civil unions that may be entered into?

Yes, there are restrictions on the number of civil unions that may be entered into in Oklahoma. According to Oklahoma law, only two people (of the same sex) may enter into a civil union. No other combinations of people (heterosexual couples, three or more people, etc.) are allowed. Additionally, individuals may only enter into one civil union at a time. A person who seeks to enter into a new civil union must first terminate the previous one. Another restriction on civil unions in Oklahoma relates to age. Both individuals must be at least 18 years of age to legally enter into a civil union. If either partner is under 18, then the couple must obtain written consent from a parent or guardian in order to be eligible. To prove parental or guardian consent, a court order may be required. Finally, civil unions in Oklahoma are not recognized as marriages. They are treated as domestic partnerships, which means that they carry no legal standing. This means that civil unions cannot be used for any legal purposes, such as for tax filing, asset division, or immigration. This also means that civil union partners are not eligible for the same rights and privileges as married couples.
