Víctor Manuel Aguirre Espinoza and Víctor Fernando Urías Amparo of Mexicali (LaCronica)
On June 25 the Supreme Court of Justice (SCJ) will decide whether same-sex couples may marry in Baja California. In 2010 the state passed legislation banning such marriages.
In 2013 Victor Manuel Victor Espinoza and Fernando Urias of Mexicali, obtained an injunction after the local government refused to marry them. However, the City Council, the state legislature, and the state government appealed the decision of the Circuit Court in Guadalajara.
If the SCJ rules in favor of the couple, Baja California will join states such as Colima, Chihuahua, Oaxaca and Nuevo Leon, which through injunctions have determined same-sex marriages are to be granted.
