The Civil Registry will not register any gay marriage says the director of that institution, Nestor Mojoli Stellato. He said: "we will not register because our law is perfectly clear and says that a marriage should be between a man and a woman," said the head of the Civil Registry.
He added that "no native may enter a marriage of the same sex because our law is clear and that is not allowed in our country."
It added that "in the unlikely event that the Registrar registers a marriage of homosexuals, it is because of a court judgment ordering the registration thereof."
On point Efrain Lozano, a lawyer, said: "Here in our country you can not register any gay marriage because there is no law that they can be registered."
He added the aforementioned professional "Civil Code is clear on this point and that marriage is the union of a man and a woman, therefore the inclusion of a gay marriage is impossible in Paraguay."
He said that "in the Civil Registry will deny him entry because it is covered by our marriage law regarding marriage between two persons of the same sex."
"For lawmakers should change the law and accept that two same-sex persons can unite their lives," the professional said in a forum.
While the lawyer Juan Gimenez explained that "our legal system does not allow to register a same-sex marriages."
"The Civil Code is clear and it has to be respected because the marriage should be between a man and a woman," snapped the lawyer.
Furthermore, said the lawyer that "for a gay marriage can be registered in our country, you must first change our law."
However, Simon Cazal and his partner will seek to register their marriage in Paraguay, as "our legal code regarding marriage has great similarity with the one in the Argentine Civil Code. Furthermore, there is a new clause for free movement of citizens that will be in take effect in 2014. And there is a commitment to recognize that, which is what we are going to test now."
