Japan's Same-Sex Marriage Ban Ruled Unconstitutional by Court.
TL;DR Summary
The Nagoya District Court in Japan has ruled that it is unconstitutional for the country not to legally recognize same-sex unions. The lack of marriage equality violates the Constitution's Article 14, Clause 1, which enshrines the right to equality, and Article 24, Clause 2, which states that marriage should be based on "individual dignity and the essential equality of the sexes."
