Same-sex marriage has been legal in Colombia since 28 April 2016 in accordance with a 6–3 ruling from the Constitutional Court that banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional under the Constitution of Colombia. The decision took effect immediately, and made Colombia the fourth country in South America to legalize same-sex marriage,^[1] after Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. The first same-sex marriage was performed in Cali on 24 May 2016.^[2]

Colombia has also recognised same-sex de facto unions, providing some of the rights and benefits of marriage, since 2007.
