Same-sex marriage is constitutional in Greece

 


Greece’s top court, the Council of State, ruled that civil marriage between same-sex couples and the adoption of children by such couples are constitutional.

With a 21–6 majority of votes, the judges rejected a request to annul the provisions of law which legalized such unions and permitted adoption rights in 2024.

The Greek supreme court was responding to a case brought by three associations opposed to the law, which argued that same-sex marriage alters the traditional concept of family and disadvantages adopted children. 

The ruling emphasized that the legal recognition of same-sex marriages and related adoption rights align with constitutional principles and European case law.

Συγχαρητήρια!!!
