Bermuda officially becomes the first country to abolish same-sex marriage



Bermuda has officially moved to abolish same-sex marriage less than a year after bringing in a law to legalise it.

Just six months after legalising same-sex marriage, Bermuda announced it would be rolling back the law and replacing it with an alternative. 
A bill to introduce domestic partnerships was approved without amendment last year and replaces same-sex marriage with the partnerships.

It today was signed into law by the Governor of Bermuda, John Rankin.
