The ruling on a lawsuit filed by a male couple in their 30s was announced by the Nagoya District Court in the Aichi province, located on central Honshu Island, according to the Tokyo-based Kyodo News Agency.
The court, however, rejected their demand that the state pays each man 1 million yen (US$7,100) in compensation for "the current legal system not allowing them to marry.”
Courts in Japan are hearing at least five such cases. -Bernama-Anadolu
