Given Poland’s legal architecture, marriage transcription alone will not enhance protection of same-sex couples. No rights granted to heterosexual couples by virtue of marriage will be conferred on same-sex couples following the transcription. For this to happen, recognition of same-sex marriages in the civil register must go in tandem with the adoption of a statutory regulation of same-sex unions.
