Number of LGBT+ marriages grows by 20%

Data from the Civil Registry released by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) indicate that the number of marriages between people of the same sex grew 20% in 2022 compared to 2021, five times the growth recorded among those of the opposite sex (an increase of 4 %). The survey only considers civil marriages registered at a registry office, and not stable unions. There were 11 thousand registrations of same-sex marriages in 2022.

This is the highest value since 2013, when a resolution from the National Justice Council (CNJ) guaranteed the right of the LGBT+ population to civil marriage.

These unions represented 1.1% of total marriages registered in 2022.

There was growth in all regions of the country. The biggest increase was recorded in the North (32.8%), followed by the Southeast (23.9%) and South (19.5%). Couples between women represent 60% of the total number of same-sex couples. The total number of marriages rose 4% in the country. It went from 932,502 to 970,041, still below the annual average recorded before the pandemic, of 1 million between 2015 and 2019, and which had been falling until 2020.

The Northeast and South Regions recorded the lowest rates (5.1 and 5.3, respectively). While the Southeast and Central-West Regions are the largest (6.5 and 6.7 marriages per thousand inhabitants, respectively).
