In a landmark move, Poland’s top administrative court has ruled that authorities must recognize same-sex marriages performed within the European Union. The decision follows a case involving two Polish men married in Berlin in 2018, whose union was previously denied recognition. The court ordered their marriage to be entered into Poland’s civil registry within 30 days. While same-sex marriage remains illegal in Poland, the ruling aligns with a 2025 European Court of Justice decision mandating recognition of legal unions across EU states.
