Puerto Rico has announced it will no longer attempt to legally defend its same-sex marriage ban.

The US territory currently maintains a ban on same-sex weddings, defining marriage as “a civil contract whereby a man and a woman mutually agree to become husband and wife”.

However, as a string of legal cases in the US head towards their conclusion, Puerto Rico has indicated that it will no longer defend its marriage ban at all – paving the way for same-sex couples to eventually wed.
