Ustavni sud Juznoafricke Republike o istopolnom braku
Ustavni sud je naredio parlamentu da u roku od godine dana promijeni zakon kako bi se istospolni brakovi takoðer mogli sklapati. Ustavni sud je naredio da se definicija braka promijeni iz "zajednica izmeðu muškarca i žene" u "zajednica izmeðu dvije osobe".

South Africa to have gay weddings
South Africa is one of the world's most liberal countries in terms of
gay rights
*South Africa's highest court has ruled in favour of same-sex marriages,
which are banned under current legislation.*
The Constitutional Court ordered that parliament amend marriage laws to
allow gay weddings within a year.
The constitution outlaws discrimination against gays and lesbians, but
social attitudes remain more conservative.
The court ordered that the definition of marriage be changed from a
"union between a man and a woman" to a "union between two persons".
Last year, the Supreme Court of Appeal had ruled in a case brought by a
lesbian couple that the current law discriminated against homosexuals.
