Abstract
One of the biggest developments in the area of human rights is the acceptance of same-sex couples. Advancement of same–sex couples' legal equality has been greatly aided in recent decades by the European Court of Human Rights. In this minor dissertation, the evolution of the European Court of Human Rights case law in this field is critically analysed, and the impact of these rulings on European state laws is investigated.
