Deutsche Welle reports:

Same-sex marriages performed in other EU countries will now be recognized in Poland, the Supreme Administrative Court ruled on Friday. The decision marks a landmark moment for LGBTQ+ rights in one of the bloc’s most socially conservative countries.

The case involved a Polish couple who married in Germany in 2018. When they later moved to Warsaw, officials refused to register their marriage, citing the constitution’s definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.

Last November, the European Court of Justice ruled that EU member states cannot refuse to recognize same-sex marriages lawfully conducted elsewhere in the bloc. However, it had remained unclear whether Poland would implement that principle at home — until now.
