10 Points For The First Person Who Gives Me All Informations On A Law Stating That Same-sex Marriage Is Legal?

Filed in Category Guy Code

Is there any law in any country that clearly states that “same-sex marriage is legal” ?
I’ve heard and read about some of the rights that same-sex couples have in common with heterosexual couples and how they are beginning to be accepted in certain communities. But I need something tangible in the form of : In a state or country X there’s a law Y with code Z stating that same-sex marriage is legal.
Sorry if i want you guys to be too specific but I’m writting an english research paper about it and I need to find a law like that to use it as my primary source. Please i’m not asking your opinions about the matter I just need the “Law”. Thanks in advance for your help.

      On July 20, 2005, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide with the approval of the Civil Marriage Act. Court decisions, starting in 2003, each already legalized same-sex marriage in eight out of ten provinces and one of three territories, whose residents comprised about 90% of Canada’s population. Before passage of the Act, more than 3,000 same-sex couples had already married in these areas. [1] Most legal benefits commonly associated with marriage had been extended to cohabiting same-sex couples since 1999.
      The Civil Marriage Act was introduced by Paul Martin’s Liberal government in the Canadian House of Commons on February 1, 2005 as Bill C-38. It was passed by the House of Commons on June 28, 2005, by the Senate on July 19, 2005, and it received Royal Assent the following day. On December 7, 2006, the House of Commons effectively reaffirmed the legislation by a vote of 175 to 123, defeating a Conservative motion to examine the matter again. This was the third vote supporting same-sex marriage taken by three Parliaments under three Prime Ministers in three different years.

      Not the greatest of answers, but in the US, such marriages are not deemed marriages – they are same sex unions, getting the benefits of a married heterosexual couple.
