TOKYO â A Japanese court ruled on Wednesday that not allowing same-sex couples to marry is âunconstitutional,â setting a precedent in the only G7 (Group of 7) nation not to fully recognize same-sex partnership.
The ruling by a district court, the first in Japan on the legality of same-sex marriages, is a major symbolic victory in a country where the constitution still defines marriage as being based on âthe mutual consent of both sexes.â
While a new law will be needed before same-sex marriages can actually take place â which could take some time in socially conservative Japan â LGBT activists celebrated the ruling and said it had the potential to change their lives.
