Canada's law
The '''Civil Marriage Act''' is a federal law in [[Canada]] that mandated [[same-sex marriage]] nationwide, effective July 20, 2005, such that marriage was no longer defined as the union of a husband and a wife, but as the "union of two persons."

Canada thereby became the first nation in the [[Western Hemisphere]] and the fourth nation in the world to impose same-sex marriage.<ref>The [[Netherlands]], [[Belgium]] and [[Spain]] had previously imposed [[same-sex marriage]].<ref/>
