| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This comparative study examined French law and Belgian law, as well as other jurisdictions such as English law, for the commonalities and the differences in their legal treatment of same-sex couples who live together. Based on these findings, the study then discussed challenges for same-sex couples in Japan and possible solutions thereto. The study has revealed that, in contrast to those jurisdictions that have already taken legal measures for the sake of same-sex couples, Japanese marriage law, which is characterized by the inequality between husband and wife, should be scrutinized in the light of these characteristics.
