The court also ruled that the ban on joint adoption by same-sex couples was inconsistent with the constitutional requirement for equal treatment. The court wrote that the decision "does not diminish the importance of traditional marriage as a union of a man and a woman, nor does it change conditions under which persons of the opposite sex marry. All it means is that same-sex partners can now marry just like heterosexual partners can." |

Same-sex marriage in Slovenia has been legal since 8 July 2022 in accordance with a ruling from the Constitutional Court of Slovenia. The court ruled that the ban on same-sex marriages violated the Constitution of Slovenia and gave the Slovenian Parliament six months to bring legislation in line, although the ruling took effect immediately.[1][2] Slovenia was the first country of former Yugoslavia to legalise same-sex marriage, the first of the former Eastern Bloc, excluding East Germany, the 18th in Europe overall, and the 31st worldwide. Previously, a bill to legalize same-sex marriage had been approved by Parliament on 3 March 2015; however, it was rejected in a referendum on 20 December 2015.
Slovenia has recognized partnerships since 24 February 2017. These provide same-sex partners with all of the legal rights of marriage, with the exception of joint adoption and in vitro fertilisation. Previously, Slovenia had recognized a more limited form of registered partnerships for same-sex couples between 2006 and 2017, which gave same-sex partners access to pension and property rights.
Partnerships
Registration of Same-Sex Partnerships Act 2005
A comprehensive registered partnership bill passed its first reading in Parliament in July 2004, but was rejected during its second reading in March 2005.[3][4] The bill would have provided for all of the rights of marriage except for joint adoption rights.
A law establishing partnerships,[5] titled the Registration of Same-Sex Partnerships Act 2005 (Zakon o registraciji istospolne partnerske skupnosti; ZRIPS), was proposed by the government of Janez Janša on 31 March 2005.[6] The law covered only property rights, the obligation to support a socially weaker partner, and some inheritance rights. It did not grant any rights in the area of social security, health insurance, and pension rights and it did not confer the status of a next-of-kin to the partner. The adoption of this law sparked a political debate in the National Assembly, with deputies from the Slovenian National Party opposing the recognition of same-sex unions. The opposition Social Democrats and Liberals argued that the proposed law was too weak and refused to take part in the voting. The bill was passed with 44 votes for and 3 against on 22 June 2005. It was published in the government gazette] on 8 July, and became effective on 23 July 2006.[7][5]
On 2 July 2009, the Constitutional Court found that it was unconstitutional to prevent registered partners from inheriting each other's property. It held that treating registered partners differently from married partners constituted discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, breaching Article 14 of the Constitution of Slovenia. It gave Parliament six months to remedy the situation.[8][9] In response, the Minister of the Interior, Katarina Kresal, announced the government of Borut Pahor would prepare a new law, which would legalise same-sex marriage.[10] This sparked considerable controversy in the public.[11]
The Registration of Same-Sex Partnerships Act 2005 was repealed upon passage of the Partnership Act 2016, and ceased to be operational on 24 August 2017.[5] The ability to enter into a partnership was ended on that date.
Family Code 2011 reforms and referendum
On 2 July 2009, Minister Kresal announced that Slovenia waslikely to legalize same-sex marriage in the near future, citing the Pahor Government's commitment to provide equal rights to same-sex couples. The announcement stirred some level of public controversy, mainly because it provided grounds for same-sex adoption.[10]
On 21 September 2009, the government presented a draft of the new Family Code, which would allow same-sex couples to marry and adopt children.[11][12][13][14][15] The bill went through a period of public consultation until 1 November 2009.[16][17][18][19][20][21][22] In December 2009, the government considered amendments to the bill,[23] and gave its final approval to the measure on 17 December 2009.[24][25][26] It was submitted to the National Assembly on 21 December 2009.[27][28] On 2 March 2010, the bill was approved by the Assembly in its first reading.[29][30]
On 3 March 2010, the Supreme Court of Slovenia ruled that a male couple with dual Slovenian-American citizenship, who adopted a baby girl in the United States, were to be recognised as the child's legal parents in Slovenia as well.[31] On 17 July 2011, the Ministry for Work, Family and Social Affairs allowed a woman to adopt her same-sex partner's biological offspring. This raised the possibility that such adoption could be possible even if the 2011 Family Code were to be repealed in a referendum.[32][33]
On 24 January 2011, the government announced its intention to amend the bill before final passage in the National Assembly. The amendments were made due to the difficulty of passing the bill. Marriage would be defined as a "union between a man and a woman", but same-sex registered partnerships would have all rights of marriage except joint adoption, but stepchild adoption would be permitted.[34][35]
On 7 April, the National Assembly approved the amended bill in its second reading and sent it for a third reading.[36] It passed its final reading on 16 June 2011.[36][37][38] The new law was challenged on 1 September 2011 by a conservative popular movement called "The Civil Initiative for the Family and Rights of Children", which called for a national referendum on the issue, and started gathering the requisite signatures.[39] In response, the government asked the Constitutional Court to declare whether such a referendum would be constitutional. On 26 December 2011, the Constitutional Court ruled that holding a referendum on this issue is constitutional.[40] A referendum on 25 March 2012 led to the rejection of the bill.[41][42]
Partnership Bill 2014
On 14 April 2014, the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities, Anja Kopač Mrak, presented a bill to grant partnerships all the rights of marriage, except for adoption and artificial insemination. It underwent a public consultation process until 5 May 2014.[43][44] However, the bill's fate was uncertain due early parliamentary elections on 13 July 2014, which were held following the resignation of Prime Minister Alenka Bratušek. On 15 October 2014, the Ministry announced another public consultation on the draft, which lasted until 15 November.[45] In January 2015, Minister Anja Kopač Mrak said that the bill would be put on hold while a proposal to legalise same-sex marriage was to be considered by Parliament.[46]
Partnership Act 2016
On 22 December 2015, following the 20 December 2015 referendum, which prevented same-sex marriage from becoming legal in Slovenia, Deputy Jani Möderndorfer introduced a bill to grant same-sex couples all the rights of marriage, except for joint adoption and in vitro fertilisation.[47][48][49] The bill would also repeal the Registration of Same-Sex Partnerships Act 2005, and all partnerships would have to be converted to a new institution, called partnerska zveza in Slovene, within the first six months after the bill's date of application.[5] Partnerska zveza has the same formal registration procedure as marriages. On 10 March 2016, the government of Miro Cerar expressed its support for the bill.[50][51] On 5 April, the bill was approved by the Committee on Labour, Family, Social Policy and Disability of the National Assembly.[52][53] On 21 April, it was approved by the Assembly in a 54–15 vote.[54][55] The National Council did not require the Assembly to vote on the bill again.

On 28 April, the Union of Migrant Workers (SDMS) filed a motion, with 2,500 signatures, in order to be allowed to proceed with a petition for a referendum.[57][58][59] However, on 5 May, the Speaker of the National Assembly, Milan Brglez, refused to set a thirty-five-day deadline during which the proposers could collect 40,000 valid signatures to force a referendum, arguing that this and several other SDMS referendum initiatives constituted an abuse of the referendum laws.[60][61] He sent the bill for promulgation the next day.[62][63] It was promulgated by President Borut Pahor and published in the official gazette on 9 May 2016.[64][65] The law took effect on the 15th day after its publication (i.e. 24 May 2016) and became operational nine months later (i.e. 24 February 2017).[66][67][68][69][70]
On 10 May, SDMS challenged Brglez's decision to the Constitutional Court.[71] On 21 July 2016, the court rejected the challenge.[72][73][74]
Statistics
According to Slovenia's official statistics agency, SiStat, 284 same-sex partnerships had been performed in Slovenia under both the 2005 and 2016 laws up to the end of 2018.[75] A majority of partnerships were between men, and most were performed in 2017 and 2018.
Same-sex marriage
Attempt at legalisation in 2015 and referendum
On 15 December 2014, the opposition United Left (ZL) introduced a bill to the Slovenian Parliament to legalise same-sex marriage.[76][77] The sponsors of the bill said the goal was to provide equal rights to all members of society.
On 29 January 2015, the Cerar Government expressed no opposition to the bill.[78][79][80] Two of the three parties of the governing coalition, the Modern Center Party (SMC) and the Social Democrats (SD), backed the bill, as did the opposition parties ZL and the Alliance of Alenka Bratušek (ZaAB). The third party of the coalition, the Democratic Party of Pensioners of Slovenia (DeSUS), decided to allow a conscience vote in its ranks. Only the Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS) and New Slovenia (NSi) opposed it.[81]
On 10 February 2015, the Committee on Labour, Family, Social Policy and Disability of the National Assembly passed the bill 11 votes to 2 in its second reading.[82][83]
On 3 March, the Assembly passed the bill in its third reading in a 51–28 vote.[84][85][86] On 10 March 2015, the National Council rejected a motion to require the Assembly to vote on the bill again in a 14–23 vote.[87][88] The bill was sent to President Borut Pahor for his signature or veto.

On 10 March 2015, opponents of the bill announced that they had collected more than 80,000 signatures to call for a referendum. They filed 2,500 of them, as required, in order to be allowed to proceed with the petition for a popular vote.[90][91]
On 17 March 2015, the leader of the SMC parliamentary group said that, although the party supported same-sex marriage legislation, it would not try to prevent a possible referendum on the issue. ZL, the main proponent of the bill, criticized the statement.[92] However, on 19 March, SMC politicians clarified that they were against blocking proponents from collecting signatures, but that the party would support the motion to block the referendum when the signatures are submitted.[93][94]
On 23 March 2015, a thirty-five-day term began in which the supporters of an eventual referendum had to collect 40,000 valid signatures.[95] On the same day, a group of 23 deputies from SD, DeSUS, ZL and ZaAB filed a request to call an extraordinary session of the Assembly in order to vote on a motion to block the referendum.[96][97] On 26 March, the National Assembly voted 53–21 to block the referendum on the grounds that it would violate the constitutional provision which prohibits popular votes on laws eliminating human rights and fundamental freedoms.[98][99]

The proponents of the referendum, who announced that they had collected 48,146 signatures before the Assembly's vote, said they would appeal the decision to the Constitutional Court, which they did on 2 April.[101][102][103]
The court had the option of declaring the referendum unconstitutional, as Article 90 of the Constitution prohibits referenda on the subject of constitutionally protected human rights. Any referendum in Slovenia is only successful if a majority of participants and at least 20% of all eligible voters vote against the law. The Constitutional Court deliberated about the appeal in four sessions on 10 June, 9 July, 10 September and 24 September.[104][105][106][107][108] In October 2015, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Ljubljana, Stanislav Zore, intervened politically to signal his support for the referendum.[109]
On 22 October 2015, the court officially published its decision, permitting the referendum to proceed. However, the ruling did not address Article 90 making a new challenge to the referendum possible. The ruling solely regarded the ability of the National Assembly to declare a referendum unconstitutional.[110][111][112]
Referendum
On 4 November 2015, the National Assembly decided that the referendum would take place on 20 December 2015.[113][114][115] The bill was rejected, as a majority of voters voted against and the votes against were more than 20% of registered voters, as required by the Constitution.[116][117][118]
2022 Constitutional Court ruling
On 8 July 2022, the Constitutional Court ruled 6–3 that the heterosexual definition of marriage was inconsistent with the Constitution of Slovenia's requirement for equal treatment. Discrimination against same-sex couples "cannot be justified with the traditional meaning of marriage as a union between a man and a woman, nor with special protection of family", the court ruled. The court ordered the Slovenian Parliament to bring legislation in line within six months, although the ruling took effect immediately on 8 July.[1][2] As a result, marriages between same sex couples can be performed in Slovenia from that day. However, this does not force the parliament to extend opposite-sex marriage law to same-sex couples: rather it leaves the possibility for the parliament yo create a new legal instrument similar to opposite-sex marriage for the benefit of dame sex couples, distinct from “traditional” marriage itself. As such the ruling did not establish gender neutral marriage in Slovenia.
The court also ruled that the ban on joint adoption by same-sex couples was inconsistent with the constitutional requirement for equal treatment. The court wrote that the decision "does not diminish the importance of traditional marriage as a union of a man and a woman, nor does it change conditions under which persons of the opposite sex marry. All it means is that same-sex partners can now marry just like heterosexual partners can."
Parties of the coalition government welcomed the decision in announcements on social media the same day.[119] The Minister of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunity, Luka Mesec, welcomed the court decision and said he would prepare draft legislation to conform with the ruling: "The Constitutional Court has ordered us to do it, and we will do it with the greatest pleasure."
Public opinion
A Eurobarometer survey published in December 2006 showed that 31% of Slovenians surveyed supported same-sex marriage and 17% supported same-sex adoption. Both were lower than the EU average of 44% and 33%, respectively.[120]
A survey conducted in October 2009 showed that 23% of respondents supported adoption rights for same-sex couples, while 74% were opposed.[121]
A poll conducted by Delo in February 2015 showed that 59% of Slovenians supported same-sex marriage, while 37% were against. A separate question in the same survey found that 51% of Slovenians supported the bill which was being debated in the National Assembly at the time to allow marriage by same-sex couples, while 42% were against. The poll also showed that 38% of respondents supported adoption by same-sex couples and 55% were opposed.[122] Another poll conducted by Ninamedia in March 2015 showed that 42% of respondents supported the new law, while 54% were opposed. Support was highest among those younger than 30, and in the Slovene Littoral.[123]
A poll conducted by Delo in March 2015 showed that a majority of respondents thought that the Constitutional Court should not allow a referendum on the issue of same-sex marriage. Of those who said they would participate in a possible referendum, 36% said they would support the law, and 50% said they would vote against it.[124]
The 2015 Eurobarometer found that 54% of Slovenians thought that same-sex marriage should be allowed throughout Europe, while 40% were against.[125]
The 2019 Eurobarometer found that 62% of Slovenes thought same-sex marriage should be allowed throughout Europe, while 35% were against.[126]
