| Abstract [eng] |
This article examines the interaction between national constitutional definitions of marriage and European Union law, with particular attention to the significance of the Court of Justice’s Coman ruling. Although Poland and Lithuania constitutionally define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, EU free movement law obliges Member States to recognise same-sex spouses for the purpose of derived residence rights. The article analyses the impact of Coman on the jurisprudence of the Lithuanian Constitutional Court and explores the regulatory challenges emerging in Poland resulting from the ruling’s narrow scope and the gaps in national legislation. |
