In a landmark ruling, Ecuador has become the latest Latin American state to approve same-sex marriage. Constitutional Court rulings are "binding and mandatory" on Ecuadorean authorities.

In May 2017, Taiwan's Constitutional Court recognized same-sex unions to much fanfare. Authorities were given two years to amend existing law or enact new legislation.

After Australian parliament legally approved same-sex marriage, two couples legally got married on Saturday.

Taiwan could become the first country in Asia to legalise same-sex marriage ahead of a court ruling on May 24.
