France is the only country in the world where very shortly the number of civil partnerships (which they called "PACs") will soon overtake the number of legal marriages performed each year.

Although PACs were originally made to provide benefits to same-sex couples who could not legally marry, most PACs in France are between persons of opposite sex.

Permitting same-sex couples to legally marry is a small step towards ensuring the future of marriage in France, and would be legally necessary if the government should ever decide to discontinue PACs.
