Tamaulipas was the only institution that did not accept same-sex civil marriage since the Guerrero Congress yesterday carried out a similar reform. With this resolution, Tamaulipas becomes the 32nd in the country to reform the Civil Code, which allows same-sex marriage. The case is very similar to that of Baja California, as same-sex couples can marry thanks to a 2015 government mandate. Although several marriages have already taken place since 2013 due to two regional court decisions, successive local parliaments have failed to put the reform of the Civil Code on the agenda. Consequently, it was the executive that acted and ordered registrars not to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. The University Council of the Autonomous University of Querétaro approved the presentation of a reprimand to the local Legislative Assembly to ensure that civil marriage is possible for all couples who choose to contract it without sex restriction, following the presentation in December of an initiative to reform the State Civil Code. [58] And it was the main alternative for same-sex couples until marriage equality was approved. As a result of this formula, and unlike many other institutions in the country, no amparo action has been filed in Coahuila before the SCJN demanding a parity interpretation of the law. The first same-sex marriage in Tabasco`s history was that of two boys in February 2015. In an official office of the civil registry office of Villahermosa, their marriage proposal was rejected, so they took their case to the SCJN, which ruled in their favor and forced the municipal authorities to marry him. On 26 March 2013, a same-sex couple asked the Yucatán Civil Registry Office to marry. The civil registry office rejected the application on the grounds that the state`s political constitution defines marriage as the union between a man and a woman.
The couple appealed the decision, and on July 1, the state district court ruled that they had the right to marry. If the registry office does not appeal within ten working days of the District Court`s decision, the couple would be the first marriage equal to Yucatan to benefit from this right. On August 8, 2013, the civil marriage of the first male couple in the state took place. The first same-sex marriage celebrated in the community. From 2013 to the end of 2014, there were 9 same-sex marriages in the state of Yucatan. 8 in the municipality of Mérida and another in the municipality of Valladolid. The next day, April 10, it was rejected in plenary by secret ballot, 9 for and 15 against, leaving the option of same-sex marriage null and void for the state of Yucatan. [67] Mexico began legalizing same-sex marriage in March 2010 when Mexico City©©, the capital, became the first state entity to legislate. ±Twelve years later, same-sex marriage is legal throughout the country.
On 6 May 2016, the National Human Rights Commission filed a complaint of unconstitutionality 32/2016[40] against the State of Chiapas, challenging the constitutionality of Articles 144 and 145 of the Civil Code. The Chiapas Congress recently amended a family law in the state, but did not repeal the words male and female on marriage, but retained them. The commission took the opportunity to file an unconstitutional action to legalize same-sex marriage in Chiapas and become the second state to do so, following the example of Jalisco, where the Supreme Court overturned the ban on same-sex marriage in a unanimous decision in early 2016. On 12 June 2015, the country`s Supreme Court decided to establish a jurisprudence so that in the rest of the country where these marriages have not yet been legalized, same-sex couples can protect themselves and that all judges must respect this jurisprudence and provide facilities for these marriages to take place without further delay. In addition, there was a green light for adult transgender people to change their legal documents. The state government will adhere to the Amparo that orders two women to marry in León, said Government Secretary Antonio Salvador García López. “The federal decrees will be respected, as soon as they provoke the resolution, of course the resolution will be respected, I said this more than six months ago,” he said. But he said they needed to know how the resolution comes first because they weren`t notified until Friday. And that they will wait for it to cause a condition, that is, there is no longer any way to challenge it. On Saturday, AM published that on February 14, a few women received a notification that they had won Amparo 1157/2013 to marry civilly. This, after September 14, 2013 had submitted an amparo, because on the 15th. In August of the same year, the registry office in León refused to marry them.
The Mayor of León, Bárbara Botello; Councillor Verónica García; and MPs Daniel Campos (PAN), Guadalupe Torres (PRD) and Roberto Rábago (PRI) spoke in favour of respecting the court`s resolution authorising same-sex marriage in Guanajuato. [101] The legislature and municipalities therefore passed the country`s 2015 Supreme Court resolution declaring state laws preventing equal marriage in Mexico unconstitutional, but not invalid. LGBT marriages that had previously taken place had to be filed with district courts, a procedure that is no longer necessary. Although the Civil Code of Aguascalientes has not been amended to incorporate equal marriage, in practice same-sex couples can marry without having to file an amparo complaint. This is due to a SCJN decision that, in 2019, struck down the definition of marriage in local laws. It should be clarified that any couple can formalize their marriage anywhere in the country through the courts. And wherever it happens, you can be sure that it will be recognized throughout the republic. That is, if they marry in Mexico City, no case can call into question the validity of the law promulgated in the capital, or in any of the states where equal marriage is not yet accepted.
