It took effect on 6 April 2011. ==History== Since 2005, couples who have entered into a civil partnership in the United Kingdom are recognised by the Isle of Man Department of Health and Social Security for pension purposes. The other rights of a civil partnership were not provided.〔(THE CIVIL PARTNERSHIP ACT 2004 (APPLICATION) (No. 2) ORDER 2005 ). (PDF) .
