Peruvian court rules for marriage equality

In Lima, Peru, a court ordered same-sex unions to be legally registered in public records.

This stemmed from a case brought by a gay Peruvian citizen who sued the registration office for refusing to record her 2019 marriage overseas, saying that this violated her constitutional rights.

The court ordered the records office to “proceed with the registration” of the woman’s marriage, declaring as “inapplicable” an article of the Peruvian Civil Code of 1984 on the family, which refers to marriage as the voluntary union between man and woman.

This ruling may be appealed.

Being LGBTQIA is not illegal in Peru, but it is one of the few countries in Latin America that has not recognized marriage equality. Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil and Colombia already legalized LGBTQIA marriage in recent years.
