Same-sex marriage will soon be legal in Liechtenstein.[1] In November 2022, the Landtag passed a motion calling on the government to introduce a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, with broad support from across the political spectrum. A bill legalizing same-sex marriage was introduced in February 2024 and passed its final reading in the Landtag on 16 May 2024 by a 24–1 vote.[2] It received royal assent from Prince Alois on 9 July 2024,[3][4][5] and is scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2025.[6] Polling suggests that a majority of Liechtensteiners support the legal recognition of same-sex marriage.[7]
Liechtenstein has recognized same-sex registered partnerships since 1 September 2011 following approval by voters in a referendum. It was the second country in the world to pass a partnership law by referendum, after Switzerland in 2005.
