Almost 400 same-sex marriages registered so far in Australia

More than 370 same-sex marriages have been registered across Australia within the first month of same-sex weddings becoming legal.

NSW has led the way with 142 same-sex couples formally registering their marriage since January 9.

They accounted for nearly nine per cent of the state’s 1602 recognised weddings in that time, the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages told AAP.
