#UK question: what is the difference between Civil Marriage and Civil Partnership in the UK (more specifically #Scotland if it changes anything)? Why would you choose one over the other? Is it just that "civil marriage" is more likely to get recognised internationally?

I can't seem to find any clear info on this online..
Edit:

• this Reddit thread gives some info, but mostly unsourced. In this one someone summarised the England & Wales rules.
• this page from what seems to be a legal firm is quite useful and focuses on Scottish law.

Basically it seems that the few legal differences are inconsequential.

Poland’s ‘modest’ civil partnership proposal pleases almost no-one.

Poland’s government on Friday put forward a proposal for civil partnerships that strains the ruling coalition, disappoints LGBTQ+ rights activists and has little chance of being signed into law by right-wing President Karol Nawrocki.

The legislation tries to please both those who favor LGBTQ+ rights and staunch conservatives.

Today is the Winter Solstice and the 18th anniversary of my Civil Partnership with Caroline at 1100 on 21 December 2005 which was the first day it was legally possible for same sex couples to enter a formally recognised union ❤️

A momentous day for equality in the UK and the happiest day of my life ❤️

The recent Office for National Statistics figures for 2022 show how #BiPeople do – or don’t – wind up married or in registered civil partnerships (RCP).

Same-Sex Unions in Premodern Europe (John Boswell) – So many timelines of #QueerHistory start with #Stonewall & #OscarWilde. This book sheds light on a long history of queer unions of love, but personal and church-sanctioned. With so much of our history erased or painfully reinterpreted to be as hetero as possible, this is an essential record of our forebearers' hearts & legacy.
