"The European Court of Human Rights this week found that the government of
Bulgaria was violating European human rights law by failing to legally
recognize same-sex couples.

The case involved Liliya Babulkova and Darina Koilova, Bulgarian women who were
legally wed in the United Kingdom in 2016. Bulgarian authorities refused to
recognize their marriage, and after losing multiple appeals in the country, the
couple brought the case to the European Court in 2020.

The court found that the Bulgarian government, in not recognizing the couple’s
relationship, violated article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights,
which protects the right to private and family life."
