Same-Sex Marriage and LGBTQ+ Rights in the Solomon Islands

Same-sex marriage is not legally recognized in the Solomon Islands. The country's constitution defines marriage strictly as a union between a man and a woman. Furthermore, homosexual activity is criminalized under the Penal Code, which prohibits "acts of gross indecency" between persons of the same sex, punishable by up to 14 years' imprisonment. These laws reflect the nation's conservative social and legal framework regarding LGBTQ+ rights.
