Same-sex marriage is legal (nationwide or in some parts) in the following countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark,[nb 1] France, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico,[nb 2] the Netherlands,[nb 3] New Zealand,[nb 4] Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom[nb 5] the United States,[nb 6] and Uruguay. A similar law in Finland will be in force in 2017.

Same-sex marriage is recognized, but not performed, in Israel and Malta. Furthermore, same-sex marriages performed in the Netherlands are recognized in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten.

Whether same-sex couples should be allowed to marry has been and remains the topic of debate worldwide. Twenty-eight countries and five jurisdictions worldwide have passed constitutional and/or statutory amendments that explicitly prohibit the legal recognition of same-sex marriage and sometimes other forms of legal unions as well.[1] Twenty countries and twenty-five jurisdictions worldwide have authorized civil unions or unregistered cohabitation for same-sex couples as an alternative to marriage. The legal name of those unions as well as the amount of rights that they provide can vary greatly.

Legislative efforts to recognise same-sex unions

National level

The first legislation of unregistered cohabitation was introduced in the Netherlands in June 1979.[2][3] However, the first substantial recognition of same-sex couples didn't occur before the introduction of a new legal form, that of registered partnerships, which was first enacted in Denmark in June 1989.[4] Many countries have followed with similar legislation since then. Legislation of these forms of legal unions still occur with a variety of different names, even after the introduction of same sex marriage, although sometimes they are overwritten by subsequent legislation of same-sex marriage.

There are currently twenty-one countries that have an alternative form of legal recognition other than marriage on a national level. Those are Andorra, Australia, Austria, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Liechtenstein, Malta, San Marino (although only for one entitlement), Slovenia and Switzerland.

As of December 2016, legislation to allow an alternative form of legal recognition of same-sex couples other than marriage have been proposed, is pending, or have passed at least one legislative house on a national level in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Israel, Monaco, Peru, the Philippines, San Marino, Thailand and Venezuela.

The first same-sex marriage bill ever voted on was passed in the Netherlands[nb 3] in December 2000 and went into force in 2001. Belgium passed a same-sex marriage bill in 2003. Spain and Canada legalized same-sex marriage in 2005 and South Africa legalized it in 2006 thus becoming the next three countries to pass such bills. Same-sex marriage was legalized in both Norway and Sweden in 2009 and in Portugal, Iceland and Argentina in 2010. Denmark[nb 1] opened marriage to same-sex couples in 2012. Brazil, France, Uruguay and New Zealand[nb 4] gave same-sex couples the right to marry in 2013. The United Kingdom[nb 5] allows same-sex marriage since 2014. Same-sex marriage in Luxembourg, the United States[nb 6] and Ireland became legal in 2015. Same-sex marriage in Colombia was legalized in 2016. The law in Finland is expected to take effect on 1 March 2017.

As of December 2016, legislation to allow same-sex marriage have been proposed, is pending, or have passed at least one legislative house on a national level in Australia, Austria, Chile, Costa Rica, Germany, Nepal, Switzerland and Taiwan.

Sub-national level

For status in U.S. states, see Same-sex marriage legislation in the United States

In countries with a federal system of governance, states and territories often may grant recognition to same-sex couples in their own jurisdictions, although unitary states with a level of devolution, such as Spain or the United Kingdom, also offer such legalities to local authorities. The first jurisdiction to enact unregistered cohabitation was British Columbia in Canada in July 1992. The first jurisdiction to legalize registered partnership was Greenland as part of the Kingdom of Denmark in April 1996. Finally, the first sub-national jurisdiction to legalize same-sex marriage was the Canadian province of Ontario in June 2003.

As of December 2016, there are twenty-five jurisdictions worldwide have legalized some kind of alternative form of legal union of same-sex couples other than marriage. Those are five Australian states (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria), one Australian territory (the Australian Capital Territory), a constituent country of the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland), all the special municipalities of Taiwan (Kaoshiung, New Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Taipei and Taoyuan), the Taiwanese provincial city of Chiayi, four counties of Taiwan (Changhua, Chiayi, Hsinchu and Yilan), two special wards of Tokyo (Shibuya and Setagaya), one special city of Japan (Takarazuka), one city of Japan (Iga), one core city of Japan (Naha), the British Crown dependencies of Jersey and the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar.

As of December 2016, legislation to allow or expand any kind of alternative form of legal recognition of same-sex couples other than marriage have been proposed, is pending, or have passed at least one legislative house in Aruba, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

For the time being, fifty jurisdictions worldwide have legalized same-sex marriage. Those are:

As of December 2016, legislation to allow same-sex marriage have been proposed, is pending, or have passed at least one legislative house in the Mexican states of Aguascalientes, Baja California, Baja California Sur, Chiapas, Durango, Guanajuato, México, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Puebla, Querétaro, Sinaloa, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Tlaxcala, Veracruz, Yucatán and Zacatecas, the Mexican city of Tijuana, the Danish constituent country of the Faroe Islands, as well as the British Crown dependencies of Guernsey and Jersey, and the British Overseas Territories of Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands and Saint Helena.

Constitutional efforts to prohibit same-sex unions

Sometimes unintentionally but usually in response to legislation providing for marriage or other rights to same-sex couples, thirty countries, two Mexican states and three British Overseas Territories have passed constitutional amendments banning a variety of same-sex unions. These amendments have taken several forms. Some are limited to banning only marriage. Others ban marriage and prohibit legislation providing "similar rights". Some prohibit government from authorizing any form of same-sex union, while others invalidate existing and future private contracts, including wills, for same-sex couples. Fourteen of the countries with constitutional amendments prohibiting same-sex marriage passed them via constitutional referendum, with the amendment being, most of the times, one of many within a proposed constitution submitted to the people by the government.

National level

Jamaica was the first country to prohibit same-sex marriage in July 1962. Paraguay, Honduras and Bolivia are the only cases that not only marriage is prohibited but also de facto unions. Venezuela has a ban on de facto unions but not marriage. In February 2008, Venezuela became the first country to repeal a same-sex marriage ban, followed by Cambodia and Vietnam in 2011 and November 2013, respectively. Legislative attempts to ban same-sex marriage in El Salvador and the United States have failed twice.

Currently, twenty-eight countries prohibit same-sex marriage on a national level. Those are Armenia, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, the Central African Republic, Croatia, Cuba, the DR Congo, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Honduras, Hungary, Jamaica, Kenya, Latvia, Moldova, Montenegro, Palau, Paraguay, Poland, Rwanda, Serbia, Slovakia, South Sudan, Uganda, Ukraine and Zimbabwe.

As of November 2016, legislation to ban same-sex marriage has been proposed, is pending, or has passed at least one legislative house on a national level in Chile, El Salvador, Georgia, and Romania

Sub-national level

The first jurisdiction to explicitly ban same-sex marriage in its constitution was the U.S. state of Alaska in November 1998, however same-sex marriage was legalised in the state in October 2014. The first jurisdiction to enact such a ban and still has it enforced are the Cayman Islands, which is a British Overseas Territory, in June 2009. The first jurisdiction to repeal a ban on same sex marriage was the US state of California in August 2010, but the ruling went into effect in June 2013.

Currently, five jurisdictions worldwide have constitutional bans on same-sex marriage. Those are three British Overseas Territories, the Cayman Islands, Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Mexican states of Baja California and Yucatán.

Some tribal jurisdictions do not recognize same-sex marriage. In the United States, Congress (not the federal courts) has legal authority over Indian country. Thus, unless Congress passes a law regarding same-sex marriage for Indian tribes, federally recognized American Indian tribes have the legal right to form their own marriage laws.
