Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Poland does not legally recognize same-sex unions, either in the form of marriage or civil unions. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have limited legal rights in regards to the tenancy of a shared household. A few laws also guarantee certain limited rights for unmarried couples, including couples of the same sex. Same-sex spouses also have access to residency rights under EU law.
This article needs to be updated. The reason given is: Rulings II OSK 2376/19, II OSK 2284/18 of the Supreme Administrative Court are not taken into account. (November 2022) |
Article 18 of the Polish Constitution,[1] adopted in 1997, was frequently interpreted as banning same-sex marriage,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] but the latest (2019) court ruling states that it does not preclude their recognition.[12][13] In November 2023, a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany requested Poland's top court to overturn the nation's ban on same-sex marriage.[14]
