Japan Rules Same-Sex Marriage Ban Is Unconstitutional
Japan’s Nagoya District Court ruled Tuesday that banning same-sex marriages was unconstitutional, the second such ruling out of four cases in the past two years.
Municipalities covering around 65% of the population allow same-sex partnership agreements granting fewer rights than entire marriage, which the ruling said was insufficient.
Last year an Osaka court supported the ban as being in line with the constitution, while a Tokyo court later agreed but ruled that the ban violated the human rights of same-sex families.
