Mila Kiæ, the Familiy Minister, said that the proposal of a law called "Responsibility Act" will be presented to the Sænat in the course of the next month. This law would replace marriages with a "partnership of shared responsibility" making marriage purely religious. The Minister said: "These partnerships would allow a single parent to share responsibility generally, or in certain situations. In a case of an emergency and if the parent isn't capable of helping the responsible parent would have the right and responsibility to help. In grim cases such as death of the single parent, the responsibility in such a partnership would transfer to the partner."
