Same-sex marriage in Manitoba



Same-sex marriage has been legal in Manitoba since September 16, 2004. In the case of ''Vogel v. Canada'', the Court of Queen's Bench of Manitoba ordered the province to begin issuing marriage licences to same-sex couples. This decision followed a suit brought by three couples who were denied the right to marry. Both the provincial and federal governments had made it known that they would not oppose the court bid.

Manitoba was the fifth jurisdiction in Canada, after Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Yukon, to extend civil marriage to same-sex couples. The court said that its decision had been influenced by the previous decisions in those four provinces and territories. Provided by Wikipedia
