The European Court of Human Rights, ECHR in Strasbourg ruled in favor of a same-sex couple, Darina Koilova and Lilia Babulkova, whose marriage in the UK was repeatedly not recognized by Bulgarian institutions. Bulgarian authorities refused to recognize their marriage, and after losing multiple appeals in the country, the couple brought the case to the European Court in 2020. In not recognizing the couple’s relationship, the court found that the Bulgarian government violated Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to private and family life. The ECHR’s ruling in the Babulkova and Koilova also requires Bulgaria to address transgender rights, which remain largely unprotected in Bulgaria.
