In Birmingham, United Kingdom: LGBT+ Rights: Pliny and Jayraj, Two Mauritians, Get Married

Mauritians Pliny Soocoormanee and Jayraj Juggessur have just said "I do" civilly in Birmingham, United Kingdom. For them, this marriage is both a celebration of love and a statement of visibility.

This union comes two years after the Supreme Court of Mauritius struck down Article 250 of the Penal Code, a colonial law that criminalized consensual sexual relationships between individuals of the same sex. This ruling marked a significant milestone for LGBT+ rights in the country.
