===Marriage===
As a result of the 2005 federal ''[http://canlii.ca/t/7w02 Civil Marriage Act]'', same sex couples can legally marry throughout Canada. Of course, not everyone can marry, such as close relatives or minors under a certain age. See the [[Marriage & Married Spouses]] section of the [[Family Relationships]] chapter for more information about the capacity to marry, valid marriages , and invalid marriages.
It's not just Canadian couples who can marry. Anyone from anywhere can get married in Canada, as long as they meet the Canadian criteria for a valid marriage. However, while a Canadian marriage is certainly legal in Canada, it may not be recognized as a valid marriage at home. If a couple's home country does not recognize same sex marriages as valid marriages, the Canadian marriage is unlikely to be valid in that country.
