On March 20, Poland's Supreme Administrative Court is expected to deliver a ruling on a case involving two Polish citizens who married in Germany in 2018. Upon moving to Poland, their request to have their marriage registered was denied by the Civil Registry Office, prompting a legal battle that escalated to the Supreme Administrative Court. At one point, the court suspended its proceedings and asked the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) for clarification regarding the matter.

In late November 2025, the CJEU issued a landmark ruling mandating Poland to recognize the registration of same-sex marriages conducted in other countries. This decision could radically change the legal landscape for same-sex couples in Poland. As the Supreme Administrative Court prepares to revisit the case in light of the CJEU's ruling, experts anticipate that its final judgement will align with the European court's decision. The announcement of this important ruling may experience a delay but is expected by early April at the latest.

The implications of this ruling are significant for the recognition of LGBTQ+ rights in Poland. Following the CJEU's directive, Polish authorities are already taking preliminary steps to comply with the ruling, indicating a potential shift towards greater acceptance and legal recognition of same-sex relationships in a country that has historically been resistant to such changes. The outcome of the Supreme Administrative Court's decision is being closely monitored, with potential consequences not only for the couples involved but for the broader LGBTQ+ community in Poland.
