Polish court finds regulation allowing foreign same-sex marriage registration unconstitutional

Poland's Constitutional Tribunal ruled that a regulation enabling the registration of foreign same-sex marriage certificates in Poland was unconstitutional, stating it altered the legal definition of marriage beyond permissible administrative changes. The regulation, introduced by the digital affairs ministry following rulings from the European Court of Justice and Poland's Supreme Administrative Court, aimed to allow same-sex couples to register their marriages in the country. However, lawmakers from the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party challenged the regulation, arguing it violated the constitutional definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The tribunal, perceived as influenced by PiS, agreed, asserting that such changes required constitutional amendments rather than mere regulatory adjustments. The government has refused to implement the ruling, maintaining its own regulation allowing foreign same-sex marriages to be registered.
