NRS 122A.110 Solemnization ceremony not required for domestic partnership;
religious faiths free to choose whether to grant religious status to domestic
partnership under own rules of practice. The
provisions of this chapter do not require the performance of any solemnization
ceremony to enter into a binding domestic partnership contract. It is left to
the dictates and conscience of partners entering into a domestic partnership to
determine whether to seek a ceremony or blessing over the domestic partnership
and to the dictates of each religious faith to determine whether to offer or
allow a ceremony or blessing of domestic partnerships. Providing recognition to
partnerships through a domestic partnership system in no way interferes with
the right of each religious faith to choose freely to whom to grant the
religious status, sacrament or blessing of marriage under the rules or
practices of that faith.
