How did a Cuban marriage ceremony and the passing of my father-in-law connect?

In 2022, Cuba amended its family law to allow same-sex marriage, a significant shift from its previous Constitution that explicitly prohibited it.

Divorce in Cuba is common, with a high divorce rate of 70%, and obtaining a divorce is relatively straightforward.

To marry in Cuba, both parties must be single, divorced, or widowed, and proof of the dissolution of previous marriages is required.

Cuba's new family law code not only allows gay couples to marry and adopt but also redefines rights for children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

According to the Cuban family code, the minimum age requirement for marriage is 18 years for both men and women.

The Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 allows Cubans and their family members to adjust status in the United States if they meet specific requirements.

In 2022, Cubans voted in favor of a referendum that approved amendments to the Family Code, legalizing same-sex marriage, adoption, and altruistic surrogacy.

The Cuban National Assembly approved the new family law code, which ensures gender equality, legalizes same-sex marriage, and protects the rights of women, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.

The family code in Cuba guarantees equal rights between men and women but previously prohibited same-sex marriage.

In 2018, Cuba's legislature approved a new constitution that defined marriage as a "social and legal institution" without specifying a requirement of "one man and one woman" as the old family code did.

The Cuban government abolished the need for blood tests and the presentation of witnesses for marriage registration in 2022.

The Cuban referendum passed with 66.9% of the votes in favor, significantly strengthening gender equality and legalizing same-sex marriage.
