Gay Marriage in Wellington

28-Jan-1996

Wellingtonians Jool Joslin and Jenny Rowan had a wedding earlier this month. They had applied for a marriage licence but were turned down by the Registrar General because of common law tradition.
The actual Marriage Act does not specify that those seeking a marriage licence must be male and female however common law interpretation currently does.
