The Constitutional Court of Romania has postponed for the fourth time its decision in a gay marriage case, this time to await advice from the European Court of Justice. The case was brought by a gay couple that got married in Belgium and want their marriage recognized in Romania, where the Civil Code prohibits the recognition of different types of families that are legally formed abroad. The Romanian court has asked the ECJ if a same-sex couple, married overseas, can be recognized as spouses under national law by way of application of the EU law on family reunification with a EU citizen.
