South African Court Rules for Same-Sex Marriage
South Africa‘s highest court ruled on Thursday that gays and lesbians have a right to marry, and it gave the national parliament one year to change the words “husband” and “wife” to “spouse” in its marital laws.
Under the ruling, which was greeted by jubilation by gays and lesbians and frustration by some church leaders, South Africa will become the first African nation and the fifth in the world to extend full marital rights to same-sex couples.
