– State Secretary Alexandra van Huffelen of Kingdom Relations warns Aruba and Curaçao that the refusal to allow same-sex marriage could bring them into conflict with the kingdom. According to the State Secretary, safeguarding human rights is a responsibility of the Kingdom.
According to the State Secretary, the countries must at least offer an alternative to marriage for same-sex partners. The registered partnership could be such an alternative. This is already possible in Aruba.

Aruba and Curaçao were rebuked last year by the judge, who ruled that same-sex marriage should be possible here. But the islands have appealed to the Supreme Court. The House of Representatives believes that the cassation should be withdrawn and that the resistance should be discontinued.

On the Caribbean islands, the social discussion about same-sex partners is not in such an advanced stage as in the Netherlands, says Van Huffelen. But she thinks that in the Kingdom it should not matter who you love and whom you want to marry and will discuss this with the islands.
