| Issue | Same-sex marriage |
| Status | Unrecognized |

| Description | Same sex marriage is not legal in Haiti, and upon announcement of plans to lobby for the right in 2013, advocates were met with a stream of religious backlash. In 2017, the Haitian Senate approved a bill that would've banned same-sex marriage with fines and up to 3 years in prison, but it never became law. A 2022 presidential decree declared pastors would be fined if they did not perform it but it did not have any legal force as it was not approved by the legislature and was not enforced. |
