EU Court: Same-Sex Marriages Recognized Across Borders

The European Unions highest court has ruled that all member countries must recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in other EU countries, a significant step for marriage equality. This decision came after a case involving two Polish citizens married in Germany, whose marriage was not recognized in Poland. The court found that Polands refusal infringed upon EU law, emphasizing that member states must recognize marital status lawfully acquired in another member state. This ruling does not force countries to introduce same-sex marriage but ensures consistency and equal treatment for married couples moving between member states.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
