those ideals. Among the more common forms so documented were common-law
marriage; morganatic marriage, in which titles and property do not pass to children;
exchange marriage, in which a sister and a brother from one family marry a brother and a
sister from another; and group marriages based on polygyny (co-wives) or polyandry (co-
husbands). Ideal matches have included those between cross-cousins, between parallel
cousins, to a group of sisters (in polygyny) or brothers (in polyandry), or between
different age sets. In many cultures the exchange of some form of surety, such as bride
service, bride wealth, or dowry, has been a traditional part of the marriage contract.

REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE
A. FOREIGN LITERATURE
same-sex couples who marry. The end of DOMA is also likely to further complicate the
law of interstate recognition, as more gay couples have their marriages recognized for
federal law purposes, such as tax, but not under state laws that regulate divorce, custody
and property division. Since 60 per cent of same-sex marriages are performed for out-of-
state residents, the complexity of federal-state conflict regarding recognition of particular
marriages is likely to increase dramatically.Lastly, the author questions whether the issue
of “accidental procreation” that has become a theme in court decisions related to same-
sex marriage may migrate to marriage law more generally. In particular, she suggests that
a more stringent set of rules expanding support obligations in marriages (whether of
different- or same-sex spouses) in which children are born or adopted would better serve
the purposes advanced by social conservatives who purport to argue on behalf of
children’s welfare.
rights law. The Justice Department has argued that compelling the baker to do so would
violate his First Amendment rights, since his cakes are a “form of expression.” Despite
this ruling, some states have not repealed their sodomy laws and local law enforcement
officers have used these statutes to harass or arrest gay people. Prior to the 2003 Supreme
Court ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, same-sex sexual activity was illegal in fourteen US
states, Puerto Rico, and the US military.
According to Reid (2017) more than half of the countries that allow same-sex
marriage are in Western Europe. Same-sex marriasge has been legalized in the
Netherlands (2001), Belgium (2003), Spain (2005), Norway (2009), Sweden (2009),
Portugal (2010), Iceland (2010), Denmark (2012), France (2013), the United Kingdom
(2013), Luxembourg (2015), Ireland (2015), Finland (2017), Malta (2017), and Germany
(2017). Italy is the largest Western European country where same-sex marriage is not
legal, though its parliament approved civil unions for same-sex couples in 2016. Support
for same-sex marriage is weaker in Eastern Europe. A 2017 Pew Research Center poll
found that support for legal recognition of same-sex marriage is 16 percent in Belarus and
just 9 percent in Ukraine. Support in Poland and Hungary, which both have constitutional
bans on same-sex marriage, is 32 percent and 27 percent, respectively. At least ten other
countries in central and Eastern Europe have such prohibitions. Hungary and the Czech
Republic, however, do recognize same-sex partnerships. Estonia also allows civil unions,
though popular support for same-sex marriage in the Baltic states is low. More than half
of the countries that allow same-sex marriage are in Western Europe. In 2013, Russia
made it a crime to distribute “propaganda of non-traditional sexual relationships among
minors.” More than a dozen people have been fined for violations, including participating
in protests and sharing articles on social media. Human rights groups say the law is a tool
for anti-LGBT discrimination, and Europe’s top human rights court ruled that it is illegal
in June 2017; though the decision is binding, the court has few means to enforce it. In
Chechnya, a semiautonomous republic within Russia, dozens of men suspected of being

gay have been detained, tortured, and even killed since March in a crackdown on the
LGBT community. Despite growing support for same-sex marriage in many European
countries, divisions remain. While Ireland became the first country in the world to
legalize same-sex marriage through popular referendum, lawmakers in Northern Ireland
have defeated bills to legalize same-sex marriage four times

even though one has reached the last stage, one may still experience the other stages
again, as well; but he also adds that it would be difficult to reach the last stage if there
were still complications from the prior stages .In 2013, psychologist Dr. Camille Garcia
talked about “Being Gay” in a television show in TV5. She answered some of the
frequently asked questions regarding being gay and gay parenting. In Dr. Garcia’s words:
“True gayness comes out at pubertal stage.” She also mentioned that it is wrong for
parents to encourage the behaviour and allow the child the child to think that they will be
accepted no matter what their sexuality is; she also included religion in the argument by
saying that God gave parents either a girl or a boy. Furthermore, she stated that parents
should ‘arrest’ the situation and talk to the child, saying that it is wrong to be attracted to
the same sex and discuss fully the moral and complex implications of the issue. Aside
from these, she also shared that although being gay is a genetic predisposition, it can still
be fixed through lifestyle and preference. Lastly, she ended her interview by saying that
parents should not encourage their children to be gay. However, when the time comes
where they are able to make decisions for themselves—whatever sexuality they may
choose—the parents would always accept their children identity formation.
traditional institutions, such as the Church and our schools. I’m not saying that Filipinos
are now more pro-LGBT, but the overall mood is changing, and there’s more openness to
engage in an issue that is still otherwise considered taboo .Social media has democratized
access to a wider range of narratives and stories on LGBTs and made them part of our
common experiences, creating a climate that could help dismantle oppressive stereotypes
about homosexuality. The bullying of LGBT kids in American schools, for instance, a
Canadian transgender joining the Miss Universe, the coming out of Hollywood celebrities
- these have all catalyzed conversations here. And while we know that these happened
elsewhere, we have embraced the universal elements of these stories.

couples.
2. Most of the respondents are not agree about Same Sex Marriage.

RECOMMENDATION
The researcher recommend this study for students and others that have open mind
to consider broader study of Same Sex Marriage in our country. A wider study highlights
the advantage and disadvantage of adopting Same Sex Marriage in our country.
Especially the legal sense, to which the issue may depend its constitutionality. And lastly
the behavior of the society towards the Same Sex Marriage and the eyes of law requires
an adjustment to reach equality and to surpass the gender discrimination.
