Poland recognises same-sex marriages, sees rush for weddings organised abroad

According to France 24, Poland has made a legal turnaround on same-sex marriage recognition. Starting in late May, Polish law now requires the country to acknowledge same-sex marriages performed in other countries—a shift forced by the European Court of Justice, which ruled that Poland was breaking E-U free movement laws. Poland itself still doesn't permit same-sex marriage at home, but couples have begun organizing weddings abroad so those unions will be legally recognized when they return. It's a workaround rather than full equality, but it marks a meaningful legal shift for couples seeking recognition.
