France’s highest authority will discuss the issue of gay marriage during this week, because a lesbian couple dared to challenged the country’s current ban on gay marriage.
Corinne Cestino and Sophie Haßlau, who’ve been together over then years and have four children, entered a civil union called a PACS ten years ago.
They launched a bid in May 2010, questioning the constitutionality of French position on gay marriage. The Court of Cassation recommended that the issue be forwarded to the Constitutional Council, as gay marriage is “now the subject of wide debate in society, in particular because of the evolution of manners and recognition of marriage between same sex legislation in several foreign countries.”
Gay marriages are recognised in Belgium, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.According to the couples legal advisor, they want to get married because they consider it an essential tool for building a family.”
