Namibian Govt Assessing Court Ruling on Same-Sex MarriagesNamibia's Attorney General Festus Mbandeka says the government is conducting a legal assessment on the recent groundbreaking ruling of the Supreme Court to recognise same-sex marriages solemnised outside the country, New Era reports. "Given the magnitude of this judgment and its wider legal implications, government is in the process of conducting a legal assessment of this constitutional ruling before determining the appropriate course of action within the available constitutional parameters," Mbandeka said in a press statement.
