That regulation altered the templates of marriage certificates, replacing the separate fields \u201cMan\u201d and \u201cWoman\u201d with two fields reading \u201cMan\/Woman,\u201d and thereby made it possible to transcribe into the Polish legal order foreign civil status records attesting to the formalization abroad of same-sex unions. At the same time, it left unchanged the field concerning \u201cchildren born of this marriage,\u201d which could in the future lead to extra-legal attempts to recognize, on that basis, the adoption of children by same-sex couples. The Tribunal held the regulation incompatible with Poland\u2019s Constitution insofar as it allows the formalization, in Polish civil status records, of a union other than a union of a woman and a man. The presiding judge, President of the Constitutional Tribunal Bogdan \u015awi\u0119czkowski, emphasized that \u2014 in accordance with the <a href=\"https:\/\/trybunal.gov.pl\/postepowanie-i-orzeczenia\/wyroki\/art\/wylaczna-kompetencja-prezesa-rady-ministrow-do-wydawania-dziennika-ustaw-i-monitora-polskiego-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Constitutional Tribunal\u2019s judgment of September 23, 2025 (ref.

The applicants argued that \u201cthe foundation of the existing social order in the Republic of Poland on monogamous marriage, being a union of a woman and a man, has the status of a constitutional principle, which unequivocally indicates that the ordinary legislator cannot enact regulations that would conflict with Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. It should be recalled that Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland formulates the constitutional principle of surrounding marriage with protection and care, which in itself constitutes sufficient justification for the obligation to treat marriage and spouses separately and preferentially in relation to all other (even potential) alternative unions and the persons participating in them.\u201d Referring to the <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/analyses\/cjeu-violates-eu-member-state-sovereignty-ordo-iuris-on-same-sex-marriage-ruling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) of November 25, 2025 (ref. C-713\/23)<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/polish-courts-judgment-on-same-sex-marriage-record-an-unconstitutional-capitulation-to-eu-ideologues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">judgment of the Supreme Administrative Court (NSA) of March 20, 2026 (ref. II OSK 216\/21)<\/a>, the applicants stressed that \u201cthe status of marriage as a union of a woman and a man, as determined by Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, is an element of the constitutional identity of the Republic of Poland <em>par excellence<\/em>. It is therefore inadmissible, in light of Article 90 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, to transfer to an international organization or international body the power to define or recognize what is and is not a marriage. [\u2026] EU law cannot determine at all which union may or must be treated as a marriage in the Polish legal order.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ordo Iuris\u2019s involvement in the legislative process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As early as January 2026, the Ordo Iuris Institute took part in the public consultations on the <a href=\"https:\/\/legislacja.rcl.gov.pl\/projekt\/12406153\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">draft regulation (list number: MC 37)<\/a>, submitting to the Ministry of Digital Affairs its <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/analiza\/usuwanie-slow-mezczyzna-i-kobieta-z-aktu-malzenstwa-niezgodne-z-konstytucja-i-ustawami-ordo-iuris-przekazuje-analize-ministerstwu-cyfryzacji\/\">opinion<\/a>, in which it pointed out that the draft violates Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland \u2014 under which marriage is always a union of a woman and a man \u2014 as well as Article 1 \u00a7 1 of the Family and Guardianship Code, under which a marriage may be entered into only by a man and a woman who are simultaneously present. The opinion recalled that, both for the Constitutional Commission of the National Assembly, which drafted Article 18 of the basic law, and for the Constitutional Tribunal, which has ruled on this matter many times over the past 30 years, it was and remains obvious that this provision precludes the institutionalization of any form of cohabitation alternative to marriage, which by its nature is a union of a woman and a man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March 2026, journalists at TVN24 published an <a href=\"https:\/\/tvn24.pl\/swiat\/kulisy-rzadowego-sporu-o-transkrypcje-malzenstw-uwaga-mswia-zbiezna-z-ordo-iuris-blokada-psl-i-kluczowa-rola-tuska-st8974714\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">article titled \u201cThe Inside Story of the Government\u2019s Dispute over the Transcription of Marriages. The Interior Ministry\u2019s Position Aligns with Ordo Iuris\u201d<\/a>, in which they reported that arguments similar to those formulated by Ordo Iuris were adopted not only by the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Infrastructure (associated with the Polish People\u2019s Party, PSL, i.e., the centrist agrarian party that is part of Donald Tusk&#8217;s governing coalition), but even by the Ministry of the Interior and Administration (associated with the Civic Coalition, the party of Prime Minister Tusk). Ultimately, however, in May the Ministry of Digital Affairs published a second version of the draft and announced renewed public consultations \u2014 this time lasting only four days \u2014 along with review by the individual ministries, the results of which were never made available to the public. The Ordo Iuris Institute nonetheless managed to submit a second opinion, in which it once again stressed the draft\u2019s incompatibility with the Constitution and the Family and Guardianship Code, suggesting that, should the draft be adopted, the bodies entitled under Article 191(1)(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (including a group of 50 deputies or 30 senators) should seek to file, under Article 188(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, an application for a declaration that the regulation is incompatible with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and the Family and Guardianship Code. And so it happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On July 23, the Ordo Iuris Institute submitted its own amicus curiae (\u201cfriend of the court\u201d) opinion to the Constitutional Tribunal, in which it stated that \u201cthe only normative novelty that the challenged regulation introduces into the Polish legal order comes down to adapting Polish civil status records to the registration of \u2018marriages\u2019 between persons of the same sex. Its elimination from the legal order is therefore desirable and will not, moreover, create any legal gap, because the heads of civil registry offices will be obliged to apply the previously binding templates, which are fully consistent with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland.\u201d At the very start of today\u2019s hearing, the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan \u015awi\u0119czkowski, confirmed that the Ordo Iuris submission had been delivered and added to the case file, enabling both the judges and the participants to review it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The practical effects of the judgment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Constitutional Tribunal\u2019s judgment confirms the merit of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/informacje-prasowe\/bunt-dla-konstytucji-przed-palacem-kultury-ordo-iuris-apeluje-do-urzednikow-i-samorzadowcow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cRebellion for the Constitution\u201d campaign launched by Ordo Iuris on June 11, 2026<\/a>. At that time, the Ordo Iuris Institute pledged free legal assistance to any official who faces consequences for refusing to carry out an unlawful transcription. It also published a <a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/poradnik\/transkrypcja-zagranicznych-malzenstw-jednoplciowych-poradnik-dla-samorzadow-i-urzednikow-stanu-cywilnego\/\">guide for local governments and Civil Registry Offices<\/a> setting out the proper course of action. Thanks to the Constitutional Tribunal\u2019s judgment, from now on every employee of a Civil Registry Office may, invoking that judgment, refuse to recognize a same-sex union as a purported \u201cmarriage\u201d if the order to do so was issued on the basis of the unconstitutional regulation. The right of refusal will also extend to other persons who might be given such an unlawful order.

From now on, however, employees of pension authorities (like, for example, employees of the National Health Fund (NFZ) and employers, to the extent they were required to unlawfully add same-sex partners to health insurance) will be able to invoke the Constitutional Tribunal\u2019s judgment as the basis for their refusal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis regulation, following the failure of the \u2018closest person status\u2019 act, was yet another attempt to unlawfully impose on Polish citizens an obligation to recognize same-sex cohabiting relationships as purported \u2018marriages.\u2019 From now on, anyone, invoking the Constitutional Tribunal\u2019s judgment, may refuse to carry out unconstitutional orders of this kind,\u201d notes Nikodem Bernaciak, an attorney and senior analyst at the Ordo Iuris Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See also:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/president-nawrocki-vetoes-act-on-same-sex-partnerships-in-poland\/\">President Nawrocki Vetoes Act on Same-Sex Partnerships in Poland<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/abortion-and-transcription-of-same-sex-unions-candidate-for-polands-commissioner-for-human-rights-chooses-european-court-rulings-over-the-constitution\/\">Abortion and Transcription of Same-Sex Unions \u2013 Candidate for Poland\u2019s Commissioner for Human Rights Chooses European Court Rulings over the Constitution<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ordoiuris.pl\/en\/press-newsdesk\/prime-minister-fico-pushes-back-against-the-european-unions-institutions-slovakia-will-not-recognize-foreign-same-sex-marriages\/\">Prime Minister Fico Pushes Back Against the European Union\u2019s Institutions.
