ōu zhōu fǎ yuàn欧洲法院:suǒ yǒu所有chéng yuán guó成员国dōu都yào要chéng rèn承认tóng xìng hūn yīn同性婚姻
The European Court recently decided that all EU countries must recognize same-sex marriages legally performed in other EU countries.
Even if some countries' laws do not allow same-sex marriage, these countries must still recognize same-sex marriages from other countries.
The court said that not recognizing same-sex marriages makes people's lives very difficult, for example in work, daily life, and family matters.
This decision came because two Polish people married in Germany returned to Poland and wanted Poland to recognize their marriage, but were refused, so they sought help from the European Court.
