CEDO: Un bărbat căsătorit cu mai multe femei nu poate beneficia de reîntregirea familiei

The European Court of Human Rights ruled that a Yemeni man cannot reunite his family in Europe due to his polygamous marriages. The court stated that European states are not obliged to recognize polygamous marriages that conflict with their legal systems. The man, living in the Netherlands since 2018, was allowed to bring one wife and eight children but was denied entry for five children from his other marriages. He argued this violated his family life rights, but the court disagreed, noting he could have divorced the other wives. The ruling reflects a strong European consensus against polygamy, granting states discretion in family reunification cases involving polygamous unions.
