簡介On June 9, 2016, the European Court of Human Rights delivered its decision on the case of Chapin and Charpentier v. France (n°40183/07). It questioned the French courts’ decision to annul the “marriage of Bègles” contracted in 2004 between two men, in violation of French law. By this decision, the European Court of Human Rights unanimously recalled that the European Convention on Human Rights does not include the right to marriage for homosexual couples, neither under the right to respect for private and family life (art. 8) nor the right to marry and to found a family (art. 12).

簡介On 26 November 2018, the Applicant (a Hong Kong permanent resident and a homosexual) applied to judicially review the laws of Hong Kong insofar as they did not allow same-sex couples to marry (“1st JR Ground”), or they failed to provide any alternative means of legal recognition of same-sex partnership (such as civil union or registered partnership) (“2nd JR Ground”), or they failed to recognize same-sex marriage entered into outside Hong Kong (“3rd JR Ground”).

First Trio “Married” in The Netherlands

作者Paul Belien
題目First Trio “Married” in The Netherlands
日期20050926
簡介The Netherlands and Belgium were the first countries to give full marriage rights to homosexuals. In the United States some politicians propose “civil unions” that give homosexual couples the full benefits and responsibilities of marriage. These civil unions differ from marriage only in name. Meanwhile in the Netherlands polygamy has been legalised in all but name. The first civil union of three partners was registered. Victor de Bruijn (46) from Roosendaal “married” both Bianca (31) and Mirjam (35) in a ceremony before a notary who duly registered their civil union.

題目Somerville recognizes polyamorous domestic partnerships
日期20200701
簡介Somerville quietly became one of the first cities in the nation – if not the first – to recognize polyamorous domestic partnerships. The historic move was a result of a few subtle language shifts. For example, instead of being defined as an “entity formed by two persons,” Somerville’s ordinance defines a domestic partnership as an “entity formed by people,” replaces “he and she” with “they,” replaces “both” with “all,” and contains other inclusive language.
