Japan's Sapporo High Court ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.
Japan's Sapporo High Court has ruled that denying same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, urging the government to address the lack of laws permitting such unions. This decision follows similar rulings from five other district courts, although none have explicitly deemed the existing marriage law unconstitutional. Japan is the only G-7 country without same-sex marriage legislation.
