Decizia CEDO într-un cazul unui bărbat cu trei neveste și 13 copii care a cerut reîntregirea integrală a familiei: „Există un puternic consens european”

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of the Netherlands, denying family reunification for a Yemeni man with multiple wives and children. The court stated that a European state is not obliged to recognize polygamous marriages that conflict with its legal order. The case involved a 56-year-old man who had successfully brought one wife and eight children to the Netherlands but was denied entry for five children from his other marriages. The court emphasized a strong European consensus against polygamy, allowing member states discretion in family reunification rights for children from such unions.
