Abstract
The Constitutional Court rejected applications of two same-sex couples, who alleged discrimination because they were not allowed to contract marriage or to conclude a registered partnership at the Office for matters of Personal Status. The Court held that there was no obligation imposed on the legislator to grant the same regulations for marriage as well as for registered partnerships. Consequently, the legislator enjoys a margin of appreciation as regards of establishing the competence of District Administrative Authorities to conclude registered partnerships.
