Polish capital makes history with the first same-sex marriage registration
- On Thursday, Warsaw registered its first same-sex marriage for Polish citizens Jakub Cupriak-Trojan and Mateusz Trojan, whose 2018 Berlin marriage was transcribed into the civil registry following court rulings.
- The Supreme Administrative Court ordered the transcription in March, citing a November ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union that Poland must recognize same-sex marriages conducted in other EU member states.
- Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski announced the registration, explaining the city consulted with LGBTQ+ rights groups to process the certificate using existing fields marked "man" and "woman" in the current system.
- Digital Affairs Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski signed a draft regulation Wednesday to amend marriage certificates for same-sex unions, pending approval from Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński within the coming days.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk promised to implement these rulings as soon as possible, yet the legal consequences of recognizing foreign same-sex marriages remain unclear while domestic Polish law still restricts such unions.
