| Description | The European Union Court of High Justice has ruled that all member states must recognise same sex marriage certificates between two EU citizens. This ruling was made after a Polish same-sex couple got married in Germany and then Polish authorities rejected their marriage certificate because domestic law does not allow same sex marriage. The EU high court has made it clear that all marriages held in member states are now legal pan-Europe. Domestic law has still not been changed. |
