Certain provisions in the Equality Act 2010 \u2013 for example permitted exceptions from the age discrimination requirements for retail concessions to students and pensioners \u2013 are likely to be of particular benefit to single people.<\/p>
Single status is not a protected characteristic in the Equality Act 2010.
