Zelensky asks the prime minister to study the possibility of legalizing same-sex marriage in Ukraine

MADRID, 3 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky on Wednesday asked the country's Prime Minister Denis Shmyha to consider legalizing same-sex marriage in the country.

Zelenski has thus responded to a petition presented on July 3 and signed by more than 28,000 people. However, he has stressed that, as indicated by the country's Family Code, the "family is the basic primary unit of society" in Ukraine.

"A family consists of people who live together, connected by a common life, with mutual rights and obligations. According to the Ukrainian Constitution, marriage is based on the free consent of a man and a woman," the president said, as and as indicated by a decree published this Wednesday.

However, he has clarified that in the midst of a state of emergency, declared after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Constitution cannot be subject to reform, but he has stated that the Government will work to find solutions that allow civil unions to be registered within the framework of the work put in place to guarantee the rights and freedoms of the population.

"Article 116 of the Constitution of Ukraine reflects that the Cabinet takes measures to guarantee the freedoms and rights of citizens. Taking this into account, I have asked the Prime Minister to consider the submitted petition and report the relevant results," he said. .
