The US, Canada, UK, France, Spain and many other countries have legalized same-sex marriage. The list keeps changing.
In places where same-sex marriage is legal, the requirements and procedures are usually identical to any other marriage. Exceptions to this rule are Mexico (where a court order is required in many states) and Israel (where the couple must prove that they are not Jewish).
In some places where same-sex marriage has not been legalized, same-sex couples may be able to obtain the same rights and responsibilities by entering into a civil union, civil partnership or domestic partnership.
