No. The Constitution limits marriage to opposite-sex couples only. Homosexual activity was never illegal in Burundi until November 22, 2009 when a new law criminalizing such acts was passed.

Law No. 1/05, Article 567, provides for imprisonment from 3 months to 2 years and a fine of 50,000 to 100,000 francs.
