TOKYO — A Japanese court ruled on Monday (June 20) that the country's failure to recognise same-sex marriage is constitutional, in a setback for activists after a landmark verdict last year found the opposite.

The district court in western Japan's Osaka rejected arguments made by three same-sex couples as part of a series of suits filed by activists seeking marriage equality.

But the present failure to recognise such unions is"not considered to violate... the Constitution", the ruling added, saying"public debate on what kind of system is appropriate for this has not been thoroughly carried out". That ruling was welcomed by campaigners as a major victory that would pile pressure on lawmakers to accept same-sex unions.But in recent years, local authorities across the country have made moves to recognise same-sex partnerships, although such recognition does not carry the same rights as marriage under the law.
