Same-sex marriage in South Africa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Same-sex marriage in South Africa
Same-sex marriage has been legal in South Africa since the Civil Union Act came into force on 30 November 2006. The decision of the Constitutional Court in the case of ''Minister of Home Affairs v Fourie'' on 1 December 2005 extended the common-law definition of marriage to include same-sex spousesas the Constitution of South Africa guarantees equal protection before the law to all citizens regardless of sexual orientationand gave Parliament one year to rectify the inequality in the marriage statutes. On 14 November 2006, the National Assembly passed a law allowing same-sex couples to legally marry 230 to 41, which was subsequently approved by the National Council of Provinces on 28 November in a 36 to 11 vote, and the law came into effect two days later. South Africa was the fifth country, the first (and only, ) in Africa, the first in the southern hemisphere, the first republic, and the second outside Europe to legalise same-sex marriage. ==History==
