The United Kingdom’s highest Privy Council court released their ruling today that marriage in the Cayman Islands can only be between a man and a woman based on Cayman’s constitution!
Thank you for everyone who supported and signed this petition after the initial Grand Court case where the Chief Justice of the Cayman Islands erred by ruling that this same sex couple had a right to marry in the Cayman Islands, even though the Marriage Law and our Constitution stated that marriage was defined as being reserved for the opposite sex.
The Cayman Islands Government quickly took notice of the Grand Court’s overreach in attempting to write legislation from the bench, a clear breach which is prohibited since the judiciary has one job to do, which is to enforce legislation, not create or change laws.
As such, the Cayman Islands Government immediately filed their intention to appeal the Chief Justice’s errant ruling to our Court of Appeals, who agreed with the Cayman Islands Government since it was based on clear factual laws.
The same sex couple then appealed that Court of Appeals decision to the Privy Council, in which they said they were “guided by the European Union of Human rights when coming to its decision, finding that the equivalent article limits the scope of the right to marry to being between a man and a woman.”
The same sex couple are now said to be considering appealing today’s Privy Council ruling to the European Court of Human Rights, which was where the Privy Council stated that they were guided in making today’s decision.
At any rate, it would appear that the equivalent ECHR article is clear and any further pursuit to have the ECHR overturn today’s Privy Council decision will fail upon application.
Even throughout the end of time, God’s Law will ALWAYS prevail over humankind.
