A month after Mexico City's law legalizing same-sex marriage came into force, 88 gay and lesbian couples had gotten married, El Universal reported April 5.
Fifty male couples and 38 lesbian couples tied the knot. An additional 37 couples applied for licenses and will marry in April, May or June, the report said.
Five gay foreigners applied to marry Mexican citizens – two Italians, two French people and one Briton.
The federal government is challenging Mexico City's legalization of gay marriage but the case likely will not see any action by the Supreme Court for more than a year.
