In March 2023, Panama's Supreme Court of Justice issued a definitive ruling refusing to recognize same-sex marriage, declaring that existing family code prohibitions do not violate the constitution. The decision delivered a substantial blow to years of legal advocacy carried out by Panamanian LGBTQ groups and international human rights organizations. The ruling effectively placed the responsibility for any future recognition of equal marriage onto the national legislature.
