Pero, \u00bfdeben casar a esas parejas o deben unirlas con otro contrato distinto al matrimonio?<\/p>\n<p>El tema tiene su enredo jur\u00eddico, pues el Congreso no legisl\u00f3 sobre el tema y la orden de la Corte es ambigua, ya que no orden\u00f3 expresamente a los jueces y notarios que casaran a esas parejas, pero tampoco dijo que no pod\u00edan casarlas, sino que habl\u00f3 gen\u00e9ricamente de \u201csolemnizar y formalizar\u201d el v\u00ednculo de esas parejas.<\/p>\n<p>A pesar de esa ambig\u00fcedad, la mejor interpretaci\u00f3n constitucional de ese mandato de la Corte es que los notarios o los jueces casen a esas parejas. Y que para ello extiendan a esas parejas el contrato de matrimonio previsto hoy por el C\u00f3digo Civil exclusivamente para parejas heterosexuales.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nRecordemos que el prop\u00f3sito de la Sentencia C-577 fue superar la discriminaci\u00f3n que sufren las parejas del mismo sexo, que no tienen hoy la posibilidad de casarse y no gozan entonces de las protecciones especiales que otorga el matrimonio frente a la uni\u00f3n de hecho, como la formaci\u00f3n inmediata de una familia y la modificaci\u00f3n inmediata del estado civil.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nSi ese fue prop\u00f3sito del mandato de la Corte, la forma m\u00e1s limpia de cumplirlo es extendiendo la figura del matrimonio a las parejas del mismo sexo, pues de esa manera tendr\u00edan los mismos derechos y deberes de las parejas heterosexuales casadas, con lo cual quedar\u00eda superada la discriminaci\u00f3n. En cambio, si los notarios o jueces no casan a esas parejas, sino que inventan un contrato distinto al matrimonio, la discriminaci\u00f3n subsistir\u00eda porque no es claro que ese contrato at\u00edpico (ya que no est\u00e1 previsto en la ley) tenga la capacidad de generar familia inmediatamente o de modificar el estado civil de esas parejas, pues las regulaciones de familia y del estado civil son de orden p\u00fablico y est\u00e1n reservadas al legislador.\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00bfQu\u00e9 van a poner entonces las parejas que formalicen su uni\u00f3n con ese contrato at\u00edpico cuando les pregunten su estado civil? No son solteros, ni compa\u00f1eros permanentes, ni tampoco estar\u00edan casados; \u00bfdeber\u00edan entonces poner algo as\u00ed como \u201csolemnizados\u201d? Tampoco podr\u00edan hacerlo, pues ese estado civil no existe legalmente.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nLos contratos at\u00edpicos no superan entonces la discriminaci\u00f3n jur\u00eddica que hoy sufren las parejas del mismo sexo. Pero adem\u00e1s esos contratos perpet\u00faan una discriminaci\u00f3n simb\u00f3lica que deriva del hecho de impedir a esas parejas que puedan hablar de que est\u00e1n casadas. A lo sumo podr\u00edan decir que est\u00e1n \u201cformalizadas\u201d.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nA partir del 20 de junio los notarios y jueces deber\u00edan entonces casar a las parejas del mismo sexo que as\u00ed lo quieran. Y pueden hacerlo, pues esta extensi\u00f3n del \u00e1mbito legal del contrato de matrimonio est\u00e1 justificada, pues, dada la omisi\u00f3n del Congreso en abordar el tema, es la mejor forma de cumplir con la orden de la Sentencia C-577.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since June 20th notaries and judges must &#8220;solemnize and formalize the link&#8221; between same-sex couples that come to them with this purpose, given that this is how it was adjured by the ruling C-577 of 2011 of the Constitutional Court.
