I don't know what "provisions" those are that you are talking about,
To answer this bit - "provision for the children" means inheritance and child support in case of one partner leaving the relationship through divorce or death. And support for surviving partners, so that they are able to take care of offspring who are still minors. Which is, after all, the purpose of civil marriage laws in the first place.
