Marriage Equality

Marriage equality is the legal recognition and acceptance of the right of individuals to marry regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. This term typically refers to the movement to ensure that same-sex couples have the same legal rights and societal recognition as opposite-sex couples in marriage. It encompasses the struggle for legal reforms to abolish discriminatory laws, allowing same-sex partners to access the same legal benefits, protections, and responsibilities that marriage confers. Marriage equality is considered a fundamental human right, advocating that all relationships should be treated equally under the law.
