Same-sex marriage is already explicitly banned in Latvia’s Civil Law since 1993.
(1) Amended Article 110 of the Latvian Constitution now reads: “The State protects and support marriage – a union between a man and a woman, family, rights of parents and children. The State provides special protection to disabled children, those children left without parents’ and children who suffered from violence.”
(2) Article 35.2 of the Latvia’s Civil Law explicitly prohibits marriage between persons of the same gender.
