PANAMA CITY — Panama’s Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is not a human right and the country therefore does not have to recognize such unions, according to a judgement published Wednesday. The court had been considering the issue since 2016, following several appeals from same-sex couples claiming the Central American country’s family code was unconstitutional as it only recognizes marriages between a man and a woman.
The same-sex couples who filed suit were attempting to have marriages that took place in other countries be legally recognized in Panama.
