paragraph too small

/* Przybyszewska and Others ruling and passage of legislation in 2026 */ this is what is used in the cited ref…

/* Court judgement */ cool but why are we removing a perfectly acceptable source ?

/* 2023 Supreme Court ruling in Pinky Gurung */

copyedit

??? this is all sourced, and you literally removed a quote in a reference

Great! You added a source (https://notesfrompoland.com/2026/05/14/poland-recognises-a-same-sex-marriage-for-first-time/) that confirms this. Thanks! However, there remains a few grammar and copyedit fixes

/* Unregistered cohabitation */ added source from Iniciatíva Inakosť

Lead shouldn’t be that long, fixed I don’t know how many grammar mistakes and copyedit, source doesn’t state that their marriage are granted less rights (though I’m very inclined to believe that but you need a source that actually states that, this is Wikipedia, not your personal opinion), removed random abbreviations that weren’t explained in the prior text, and removed otherwise useless information

Doesn’t really get better than a report from the Slovak National Centre For Human Rights regarding the human rights situation in Slovakia

/* Passage of legislation in 2012 */

/* Same-sex marriage */

/* Passage in the Løgting in 2016 */

/* Same-sex marriage */

/* Referendum */

/* Same-sex marriage */

fixed, and removed parts not supported by sources

/* Recognition of marriages performed abroad */

/* Recognition of marriages performed abroad */ the modified article 7 only refers to national identity, so quoted adequately

/* Legal history */

Yes, EU law has primacy over conflicting national law. Same-sec couples can immediately petition domestic courts without waiting for national implementation.

fix source formatting. ps: my document is quite literally a publication from the Slovak National Centre for Human Rights, which very much mentions same-sex couples (you clearly didn't bother to read it). Please stop this bad faith editing, thanks.

literally how EU law works...

I invite you to read the document: https://www.snslp.sk/wp-content/uploads/Individual-submission-SNCHR_UPR-4th-cycle.pdf. (please read it)
