Mauritius Rights Body Calls for Marriage Equality
Mauritius's national human rights body has called for the legalisation of same-sex marriage, urging the government to extend marriage equality to same-sex couples. The recommendation aligns with growing regional and international pressure on Indian Ocean nations to recognise LGBT rights. Same-sex sexual relations were decriminalised in Mauritius in 2022, but marriage remains restricted to opposite-sex couples. Rights groups are watching closely for a government response.
Why now: A national human rights institution openly endorsing marriage equality is a notable step in ongoing LGBT rights debates in Mauritius and the region.
