Costa Rica Set to Issue First Same-Sex Marriage License

HeadlineMay 14, 2020

Costa Rica is set to issue its first same-sex marriage registrations in late May, 18 months after the Costa Rican Constitutional Court gave lawmakers a year and a half to implement the reform. Reuters reports conservative lawmakers on Wednesday introduced a motion to delay the court’s ruling another 18 months, but it’s unclear whether it will gain enough support. Costa Rica is set to become the first Central American country to legalize marriage equality.
