Well, as all of you possibly know, spanish gays and lesbians can now marry their partners - and some already have taken the opportunity. Unfortunately, Spanish law, when a foreign partner is involved, reportedly only allows marriage if in the country of origin the marriage also could be performed. This has the consequence, that in the same-sex marriages only partners from Spain, Netherlands, Canada and Belgium can be married - pretty disappointing for the many binational couples, whose hopes get destroyed in spite of the apparently completely equal rights with heterosexuals.
I am curious, how the Spanish legislators will solve this problem - and why nobody from the well-paid lawyers has recognized the complexity of the matter at an earlier time point.
