MATRIMONIO HOMOSEXUAL, OPOSICIÓN RELIGIOSA Y OBJECIÓN DE CONCIENCIA EN ARGENTINA. A CINCO AÑOS DE LA LEY DE MATRIMONIO IGUALITARIO

Abstract

The Act of 2010 that introduced same-sex marriage in Argentine law shows the progressive secularization of marriage. The new Civil Code, in force since 2015, maintains same-sex marriages and also regulates other legal figure (civil partnerships) that deepens the secularization of family relations. Claims to conscientious objection to intervene in the celebration of same-sex marriages, which appeared with the debates surrounding the law, seems to have faded with the passage of time. The possibility of objection should be considered in a restrictive way, even if a pragmatic approach to the disputes that may arise should be welcomed.
