Same-sex unions not legally recognized

Same-sex marriage is legal (nationwide or in some parts) in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico,^{[nb 1]} the Netherlands,^{[nb 2]} New Zealand,^{[nb 3]} Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom,^{[nb 4]} the United States,^{[nb 5]} and Uruguay. Same-sex marriage is recognized, but not performed, in Israel. 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. 32 countries and four jurisdictions worldwide have passed constitutional amendments that explicitly prohibit the legal recognition of same-sex marriage and sometimes other forms of legal unions as well.^[1] 16 countries and 34 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 number 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 15 countries that have an alternative form of legal recognition other than marriage on a national level. Those are Andorra, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Montenegro, San Marino, and Slovenia.

As of 25 December 2021, legislation to allow an alternative form of legal recognition of same-sex couples other than marriage is pending, or has passed at least one legislative house on a national level in Lithuania, Serbia, and Thailand.

As of 25 December 2021, same-sex marriage has been legal (nationwide or in some parts) in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico,^{[nb 1]} the Netherlands,^{[nb 2]} New Zealand,^{[nb 3]} Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the United Kingdom,^{[nb 4]} the United States,^{[nb 5]} and Uruguay. In Chile and Switzerland, legislation for same-sex marriages has been approved but it will be implemented in the upcoming months.

As of 25 December 2021, legislation to allow same-sex marriage is pending, or has passed at least one legislative house on a national level in Andorra, Cuba, Czechia, and Peru.

Sub-national level[]

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 25 December 2021, there are 139 jurisdictions worldwide that have legalized some kind of alternative form of legal union of same-sex couples other than marriage. Those are five prefectures of Japan (Gunma, Ibaraki, Mie, Osaka and Saga), eight special wards of Tokyo (Adachi, Bunkyō, Edogawa, Minato, Nakano, Setagaya, Shibuya, and Toshima), 16 designated cities of Japan (Chiba, Fukuoka, Hamamatsu, Hiroshima, Kawasaki, Kitakyushu, Kumamoto, Kyoto, Niigata, Okayama, Osaka, Sagamihara, Saitama, Sakai, Sapporo, and Yokohama), 18 core cities of Japan (Akashi, Amagasaki, Hirakata, Kanazawa, Kawagoe, Kōchi, Koshigaya, Kurashiki, Matsumoto, Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Naha, Nara, Nishinomiya, Takamatsu, Toyohashi, Toyota, and Yokosuka), five special cities of Japan (Chigasaki, Fuji, Odawara, Takarazuka, and Yamato), 65 cities of Japan (Ageo, Akitakata, Annaka, Ashiya, Bizen, Daitō, Fuchū, Fujisawa, Gyōda, Higashikagawa, Higashimatsuyama, Hikone, Hirosaki, Honjō (Saitama), Ibusuki, Iga, Ikoma, Inabe, Iruma, Itami, Kaizuka, Kamakura, Kameoka, Kanuma, Karatsu, Katano, Kawanishi, Kitamoto, Koga (Fukuoka), Koganei, Kokubunji (Tokyo), Kōnosu, Kōshū, Kuki, Kunitachi, Maniwa, Matsudo, Minamiashigara, Mitoyo, Miura, Miyoshi (Tokushima), Mukō, Nagaokakyō, Nichinan, Nikkō, Nishio, Nobeoka, Okegawa, Sakado, Sanda, Sayama, Shibukawa, Sōja, Tenri, Tochigi, Tokushima, Tondabayashi, Toyoake, Ube, Urasoe, Urayasu, Usuki, Yamatokōriyama, Yoshinogawa, Zentsūji, and Zushi), eighteen towns of Japan (Hayama, Ina (Saitama), Inagawa, Kawajima, Kijō, Kitajima, Matsuda, Moroyama, Miyoshi, Naka, Ōi (Kanagawa), Ōizumi, Ōzu (Kumamoto), Shintomi, Shōdoshima, Tadotsu, Tokigawa, and Tonoshō), Aruba, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Cayman Islands, a territory of the UK, and the Mexican state of Veracruz.

Constitutional efforts to prohibit same-sex unions[]

Thirty-two countries 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".

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. Vietnam, Cuba and Ecuador, repealed their same-sex marriage bans in November 2013, April 2019, and June 2019, respectively.

As of 25 December 2021, thirty-three countries prohibit same-sex marriage on a national level. Those are Armenia, Belarus, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, the Central African Republic, Croatia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dominican Republic, Georgia, Honduras, Hungary, Jamaica, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Montenegro, Palau, Paraguay, Poland, Russia, Rwanda, Serbia, Slovakia, South Sudan, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela and Zimbabwe.

As of 25 December 2021, legislation to ban same-sex marriage is pending in Czechia, concurrent with legislation to legalize same-sex marriage.

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 was Yucatán, in July 2009, but since August 2010 the state recognizes same-sex marriages performed in Mexico and in August 2021 local congress removed the heterosexual definition of marriage from the state's constitution.

As of 25 December 2021, three jurisdictions worldwide have constitutional bans on same-sex marriage, which are all British Overseas Territories : the Cayman Islands, Montserrat and the Turks and Caicos Islands.^{[citation needed]}^{[these do not read as bans.

^ Judgment of the Supreme Court of 7 July 2004, II KK 176/04, W dotychczasowym orzecznictwie Sądu Najwyższego, wypracowanym i ugruntowanym zarówno w okresie obowiązywania poprzedniego, jak i obecnego Kodeksu postępowania karnego, a także w doktrynie (por. wypowiedzi W. Woltera, A. Zolla, A. Wąska), pojęcie "wspólne pożycie" odnoszone jest wyłącznie do konkubinatu, a w szczególności do związku osób o różnej płci, odpowiadającego od strony faktycznej stosunkowi małżeństwa (którym w myśl art. 18 Konstytucji jest wyłącznie związek osób różnej płci). Tego rodzaju interpretację Sąd Najwyższy, orzekający w niniejszej sprawie, w pełni podziela i nie znajduje podstaw do uznania za przekonywujące tych wypowiedzi pojawiających się w piśmiennictwie, w których podejmowane są próby kwestionowania takiej interpretacji omawianego pojęcia i sprowadzania go wyłącznie do konkubinatu (M. Płachta, K. Łojewski, A.M. Liberkowski). Rozumiejąc bowiem dążenia do rozszerzającej interpretacji pojęcia "wspólne pożycie", użytego w art. 115 § 11 k.k., należy jednak wskazać na całkowity brak w tym względzie dostatecznie precyzyjnych kryteriów.
^ "Judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 11 May 2005, K 18/04". Polska Konstytucja określa bowiem małżeństwo jako związek wyłącznie kobiety i mężczyzny. A contrario nie dopuszcza więc związków jednopłciowych. [...] Małżeństwo (jako związek kobiety i mężczyzny) uzyskało w prawie krajowym RP odrębny status konstytucyjny zdeterminowany postanowieniami art. 18 Konstytucji. Zmiana tego statusu byłaby możliwa jedynie przy zachowaniu rygorów trybu zmiany Konstytucji, określonych w art. 235 tego aktu.
^ "Judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 9 November 2010, SK 10/08". W doktrynie prawa konstytucyjnego wskazuje się nadto, że jedyny element normatywny, dający się odkodować z art. 18 Konstytucji, to ustalenie zasady heteroseksualności małżeństwa.
^ "Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland of 25 October 2016, II GSK 866/15". Ustawa o świadczeniach zdrowotnych finansowanych ze środków publicznych nie wyjaśnia, co prawda, kto jest małżonkiem. Pojęcie to zostało jednak dostatecznie i jasno określone we wspomnianym art. 18 Konstytucji RP, w którym jest mowa o małżeństwie jako o związku kobiety i mężczyzny. W piśmiennictwie podkreśla się, że art. 18 Konstytucji ustala zasadę heteroseksualności małżeństwa, będącą nie tyle zasadą ustroju, co normą prawną, która zakazuje ustawodawcy zwykłemu nadawania charakteru małżeństwa związkom pomiędzy osobami jednej płci (vide: L. Garlicki Komentarz do art. 18 Konstytucji, s. 2-3 [w:] Konstytucja Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej. Komentarz, Wydawnictwo Sejmowe, Warszawa 2003). Jest wobec tego oczywiste, że małżeństwem w świetle Konstytucji i co za tym idzie - w świetle polskiego prawa, może być i jest wyłącznie związek heteroseksualny, a więc w związku małżeńskim małżonkami nie mogą być osoby tej samej płci.
^ "Judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court of Poland of 28 February 2018, II OSK 1112/16". art. 18 Konstytucji RP, który definiuje małżeństwo jako związek kobiety i mężczyzny, a tym samym wynika z niego zasada nakazująca jako małżeństwo traktować w Polsce jedynie związek heteroseksualny.
