Same-sex marriages are not licensed in the state of New Mexico, which also does not provide civil unions or domestic partnerships. New Mexico law does not explicitly permit or prohibit same-sex marriage, and it is unclear whether the state would recognize such marriages established in other jurisdictions. As of 2013 it was the only state without a statute explicitly addressing same-sex marriage.

Famous quotes containing the words recognition of, recognition, unions and/or mexico:

    No democracy can long survive which does not accept as fundamental to its very existence the recognition of the rights of minorities.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)

    The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.
    Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)

    I think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
