Whenever used in this chapter, the following definitions shall apply:
“Domestic partner” shall be construed to mean two individuals who are residents of the City of Topeka, as defined in this section, who have reached 18 years of age, who have the mental capacity to contract, and who live together in a relationship of indefinite duration, with a mutual commitment in which the partners share the necessities of life and are financially interdependent. Domestic partners are not married to another person, do not have another domestic partner and are not related by blood more closely than would bar their marriage in this state.
