Vanuatu’s government has passed a law to ban gay marriage.
As reported in Vanuatu’s Daily Post, the Marriage Act Amendment which was passed last week clarifies that marriage is the union of a male and female.
Minister of Internal Affairs, Andrew Napuat, says that the law means that same sex marriage cannot be registered by law in Vanuatu.
He says if any marriage celebrant conducts a ceremony that does not follow the spirit of the law and seeks registration, his or her license will be revoked.
The minister says let this serve as a notice that the government has decided: marriage is defined as being between a male and a female.
