Civil or Legal.......?

We've got these Image result for Civil Partnershipsand now am I supposed to beleive that in the UK a 'straight' union, without marriage is not allowed?
Here is a link to the general situation on the subject in Europe
http://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/family/couple/registered-partners/index_en.htm
Now, as I recall, the last information I had was that boy meets girl or the reverse, they live together as a couple, not married....if they are organised they make wills and testaments, financial arrangements mutually or each for the other, and I did think there was the possibility to enter into a legal contract of 'Civil Union' where all these things were covered, without marriage!
Personally I am obliged to do it all myself since the German Pensions do not accept re-marriages without cutting the 'Widows' pension I get!
This doesn't seem right, but since I live in France where Civil Unions ARE allowed, and since I get no pension governed by the French rules, I guess I could enter a union of this type without risking my German widowers pension!
Certainly, in the case of my death, my 'Concubine' (that's what it's called in French) would not continue to get my German Pension ......It's all very complicated...

One of London's 'Commons' Carrying on with my little series about London, a City but also very much a collection of villages which I enjoyed living in, working in, getting married in, and finally "'leavin'", I just wanted to touch on those places which London has so many of......'The Commons' - rather akin to Public Parks, but immense in size and in every 'village'.... A bit of their history is here: http://www.graftingardeners.co.uk/history-londons-commons/ and some are used by the well known  London Buses. Some are criss-crossed by main roads, some have public golf courses, some have tennis courts, both in concrete and in grass.... The special thing about these 'Commons' is their size....They are immense. In pure ground value they must be worth billions of billions of pounds sterling, and yet there is rarely any attack made on their status. It is rather astounding! Just for the record, there is another, ...
