Abstract
Como bien es sabido, la población LGBTIQ+ ha sido histórica y estructuralmente
discriminada en nuestro país. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación surgió
como respuesta a las recientes sentencias emitidas por el Tribunal
Constitucional sobre el reconocimiento del matrimonio igualitario en el Perú
(casos Óscar Ugarteche, Andree Martinot y Susel Paredes) y la falta de
deliberación parlamentaria sobre dicha materia. Razón por la cual, se tiene como
objetivo respaldar la teoría de que el Tribunal Constitucional se encuentra
facultado para realizar un control fuerte de constitucionalidad —mas aún si se
encuentra frente a una población en especial situación de vulnerabilidad—, el
cual permita el reconocimiento del matrimonio igualitario en el Perú.
De ahí que, a través del presente trabajo académico, se propone realizar un
análisis de las diferentes estrategias jurídicas empleadas por las Cortes
Constitucionales del derecho comparado (Estados Unidos, Colombia y Ecuador),
respecto del reconocimiento del matrimonio igualitario. Así como, un estudio que
contraste las sentencias emitidas por el Poder Judicial —en primera instancia—
y el Tribunal Constitucional, correspondiente a la referida materia. Finalmente,
se expondrán cada uno de los argumentos por los cuales, la autora considera
que no resulta aplicabla la tesis waldroniana —contraria al control judicial o
judicial review— en el caso peruano.
As is well known, the LGBTIQ+ population has been historically and structurally discriminated against in our country. For this reason, this investigation arose in response to the recent rulings issued by the Constitutional Court on the recognition of equal marriage in Peru (Óscar Ugarteche, Andree Martinot and Susel Paredes cases) and the lack of parliamentary deliberation on said matter. For this reason, the objective is to support the theory that the Constitutional Court is empowered to carry out a strong control of constitutionality —even more so if it is faced with a population in a particularly vulnerable situation— which allows the recognition of the equal marriage in Peru. Hence, through this academic work, it is proposed to carry out an analysis of the different legal strategies used by the Constitutional Courts of comparative law (United States, Colombia and Ecuador), regarding the recognition of equal marriage. As well as, a study that contrasts the sentences issued by the Judiciary —in the first instance— and the Constitutional Court, corresponding to the aforementioned matter. Finally, each of the arguments will be presented for which the author considers that the Waldronian thesis —contrary to judicial review— is not applicable in the Peruvian case.
