La trascrizione del matrimonio omosessuale celebrato all’estero

Italy recently passed legislation to recognise the right of same-sex couples to register a civil partnership. In this context, the Italian Parliament adopted a decree regarding private international law in order to deal with the effects in Italy of same-sex marriages with some element of internationality (e.g. an English woman marrying an Italian woman). The authors criticise the reform, which automatically downgrades all same-sex marriages to civil unions. The reform’s legality appears debatable both from a constitutional and human rights point of view.
