The Court of Justice of the EU ruled that all EU member states must recognize same-sex marriages performed in other member states.
The decision came from the case of a Polish same-sex couple legally married in Germany whose marriage was not recognized domestically, and the ruling emphasizes free movement and non-discrimination within the EU. Legal experts and European Parliament members, including Carolina Morace, Alessandro Zan, Emma Wiesner, Abir al-Sahlani, and Angelo Schillaci, commented on the need for Italy and other member states to fully implement the decision to advance LGBTQ rights and family recognition.
