Same-sex marriage will become legal in New Zealand on 19 August 2013. A bill for the legalisation was passed by the New Zealand House of Representatives on 17 April 2013, 77 votes to 44 in its third reading and received Royal Assent on 19 April 2013, with entry into force 4 months later to allow time for the Department of Internal Affairs to make the necessary changes for marriage licensing. New Zealand will be the first country in Oceania, and the second Commonwealth realm (after Canada), to allow same-sex couples to marry.
