Summary
The introduction of same-sex marriage in Germany in summer 2017 has been a matter of considerable debate. Against this background, Ferdinand Wollenschläger discusses whether the German constitution's specific guarantee of marriage as an institution is still limited to the traditional understanding and thus prohibits the legislator from extending the right to marry to same-sex couples. Dagmar Coester-Waltjen provides the international context of this debate and analyses it from a perspective of comparative law.
