The Cayman Islands government has been successful in its appeal against a March ruling by the country's chief justice that legalised same sex marriage.
The Cayman Islands Court of Appeal on Thursday ruled in favour of the government.
However, the court ordered the government to expeditiously provide Chantelle Day and her partner, Vickie Bodden Bush, with legal status equivalent to marriage.
In a statement following the ruling, the couple's attorney and LGBTQ activist Leonardo Raznovich, said it was a sad day for Caymanians because their constitution has not been properly upheld.
The Appeals Court also called for the UK to step in and ensure that civil partnerships or a legal equivalent are implemented, if the Cayman Islands government fails to do so.
No timeline was given on how long government has to act.
