EU Court Rules Poland Must Recognize Same-Sex Marriages From Other Member States

In a landmark ruling, the European Court of Justice ruled on Tuesday that all member states must recognize same-sex marriages conducted in other EU nations.

Although laws surrounding marriage are supposedly to be determined at the national level, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) found that same-sex marriage certificates must be recognised throughout the bloc, even if they are not permitted under national legislation.

According to Euronews, the transnational court ruled that refusing to recognise a same sex marriage conducted in a fellow member state is “contrary to EU law because it infringes that freedom and the right to respect for private and family life”.
