Petition Unmarried, commited couples deserve same rights as married couples.

More details

Is it fair that a married couple of 25 years should be treated more fairly then a cohabiting couple of 30 years?
You have a mortage, you have three children, but you aren't married. Therefore, you aren't eligable for Widowed Parents' Allowance (to name one) should the unforseeable happen.
I believe that cohabiting couples being treated less fairly then married couples (tax breaks, should they be introduced, certain benefits, to name just a few) is a violation of your Human Rights, and is descrimination.
