The party's equality spokesperson, Megan Fearon, was speaking after Australia announced that it had passed a Bill to legalise same-sex marriage.
She said: "News that the Australian parliament has passed a Bill that will allow two people regardless of their gender to marry is a welcome step.
"This comes after almost 79.5 percent supported a non-binding postal ballot in Australia to endorse a law. Australia is now the 25th country in the world to have marriage equality.
"It is Sinn Féin's belief that marriage equality should be extended to the north [of Ireland] so that citizens here can be treated equally, with the same dignity and respect as citizens across the rest of these islands."
Currently, Northern Ireland is the only region in the UK where same-sex marriage is not permitted.
