No. Article 14, Paragraph 6 of the Family Code does not permit same-sex marriage.

On May 23, 2006, the Supreme Court of Costa Rica ruled that their Constitution does not require the government to permit same-sex couples to marry.

However, it was announced in May 2014 that the Costa Rican government will treat same-sex couples equally for the purposes of social security and medical benefits.
