Same-sex marriage in the Falkland Islands

Same-sex marriage has been legal in the Falkland Islands since 29 April 2017. A law to permit same-sex couples to marry passed the Legislative Assembly by 7 votes to 1 on 30 March 2017. It was given royal assent by Governor Colin Roberts on 13 April, and went into effect on 29 April. The territory also recognises civil partnerships, which are open to both same-sex and different-sex couples.

The Falkland Islands was the seventh British Overseas Territory to legalise same-sex marriage territorywide, after South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, Akrotiri and Dhekelia, the British Indian Ocean Territory, the Pitcairn Islands, the British Antarctic Territory and Gibraltar.
