VOICED : Corte de Colombia avala matrimonio igualitario

The Constitutional Court of Colombia has approved same-sex marriage, making Colombia the fourth South American country to do so. The decision aligns with the constitutional order, allowing same-sex couples to marry under civil law. The ruling was supported by six out of nine judges, affirming the right to family formation regardless of sexual orientation. The decision will become a definitive ruling within 30 days, setting a legal precedent. This move mirrors judicial decisions in Brazil and Mexico, while Argentina and Uruguay achieved it through legislative means. Existing unions registered since 2011 will automatically be recognized as marriages.
