Same-sex marriage has been legal in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and in the rest of Australia, since 9 December 2017 following passage in the Parliament of the Marriage Amendment Act 2017. The ACT is unique in being the only state or territory in Australia to have independently passed a same-sex marriage law. In October 2013, the Legislative Assembly approved the Marriage Equality Act 2013. The Abbott government immediately challenged the law in the High Court of Australia.
