The Fukuoka District Court will hand down a ruling on the 5th in a class action lawsuit filed by same-sex couples. The couples are suing the government in five locations nationwide on the grounds that the fact thatSame-sex marriage is not recognized violates the Constitution.

Until now, judgments in various places have shown judgments such as unconstitutional violations and unconstitutional status, and it will be interesting to see if the judgment on the 8th will follow suit, says the judge. The plaintiffs believe both rulings will provide a tailwind for the country to take new legislative action.
