A Japanese court ruled Monday that the country’s ban on same-sex marriage does not violate the constitution

, when international attention was focused on Japan, but the bill was quashed by the conservative governing party.

Judge Fumi Doi said marriage for heterosexual couples is a system established by society to protect a relationship between men and women who bear and raise children, and that ways to protect same-sex relationships are still undergoing public debate. Monday’s ruling was a setback for activists who were hoping to further pressure the government after theThe plaintiffs and their lawyers called Monday’s ruling unacceptable and said they would appeal.

Under current rules in Japan, same-sex couples cannot inherit each other’s property, house or other assets they share, and have no parental rights over each other’s children. They are often barred from renting apartments together, and from hospital visits and other services available to married couples.

this is a must do for human, if we don't ban this, maybe someday, people can marry dogs and cats. people need to get rid of these thoughts.

A win for common sense

Excellent 👍

You allow marriage to robots but not other humans based on sex? 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Wise people.

👍🏿🙏🏿

Great one for a country with some common sense

Read Leviticus 20:13

But it does violate God’s law, and God’s law trumps man’s law every time!

Obviously. When we defined marriage in the law in the U.S. initially, it was a recognition of what marriage was, not an act of invention. Same in Japan.

Maybe it's time that governments the world over stopped the intrusive overreach.

😡😡😡

WTF! Leave ppl private lives alone already.This world is all sorts of wrong. Stop trying to control people.

😱😱😱😱😡😡😡😡
